Why are you trembling so much
I don’t think I ever felt so good
When all I need is to be free
Where I love you and you love me
Follow the circle sur la plage
On a mono coloured trip voyage
This is the colour of my world
Stay and watch me find another pearl

Follow the gold leaf trail back where
We were young and didn’t have a care
Tracing the circles that we made
I don’t wanna live life in the shade
Will this be a desert or a beach
Or a place to find the things we need

Now you and I make up perfect things
Watch me trade my wheels for wings
But don’t ever use the wings to fly
Just the essence of a lullaby
Now I am a giant grain of sand
But I maybe slipping through your hand
Follow my colour coded world
And I watch me find another pearl

It’s a sound that I love
And It came from above
There’s the sound of the sea
Are you following me?

Let’s walk to the sound distant shells
To a place where life would have no end
You’d be the Mother of my pearls
If you follow me into my world
Back to a place where we’d be free
Where I love you and you love me
This is the colour of my world
Watch me find another pearl.

Badly Drawn Boy - Once around the block

You quiver like a candle on fire
I’m putting you out
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout
But I’m fascinated by your style
Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling Instead of being
The more that I live on the inside
There’s nothing to give
I’m infatuated by your moves
I've got to search out for your clues

I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift that I stole from
Just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to outrun your fear
Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve
And your soul in your shoes
Take a left, a sharp left
And another left. meet me on the corner
And we’ll start again.

Badly Drawn Boy - You were right

And you, were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery,
well the good things are never free,
do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone,

And I, was rushin' round in circles for a reason to believe,
wipe the slime from of your sleeve,
you could follow me for weeks and i'm not goin' anywhere,

Sometimes it's hard to love someone,
until the day that they are gone,

And I, just had a dream the other night,
I was married to the Queen,
and Madonna lived next door,
I think she took a shine to me,
and the kids were all grown up,
but i had to turn her down coz i was still in love with you,

I'm turnin' madonna down,
i'm callin' it my best move,
i'll get a ticket to what you need,

I, remember doin' nothin' on the night Sinatra died,
and the night Jeff Buckley died,
and the night Kurt Cobain died,
and the night John Lennon died,
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone,

And that was a lot of nights,
and that was a lot of lives,
they lost the tickets to what they need,

And I, was busy findin' answers while you just got on with real life,
always hoped you'd be my wife,
but i never found the time,
for the question to arrive,
I just disguised it in this song,

And songs, are never quite the answer,
just a soundtrack to a life,
that is over all too soon
helps to turn the days to night,
while i was wrong and you were right,

And this was a lesson learned,
I'm happy to be your fool,
and get you tickets to what you need,

I'm turnin' the lights down low,
i'm ready to make my move,
i'll get you tickets to what you need.

Billy Connolly - The Wellie Boot Song

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
When some bugger takes off his wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

Oh and when you're out walking in the country with a bird
And you're strolling over fields just like a farmer's herd
And somebody shouts, "Keep off the grass" and you think how absurd
and SQUELCH you find why farmers all wear wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all
Men out digging ditches and working in the snow
This country it would grind to a halt and not a thing would grow
If it wasn't for the workers in their wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have you're feet in your wellies

Oh Edward, Heath and Wilson they haven't made a hit
So you'd better get your feet in your wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have you're feet in your wellies

Blondie - Sunday Girl

I know a girl from a lonely street
Cold as ice cream but still as sweet
Dry your eyes Sunday girl
Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come and see
What your lovin' means to me

She can't catch up with the working crowd
The weekend mood and she's feeling proud
Live in dreams Sunday girl
Baby, I would like to go out tonight
If I go with you my folks'll get uptight
Stay at home Sunday girl

Hey, I saw your guy with a different girl
Looks like he's in another world
Run and hide Sunday girls
When I saw you again in the summer time
If your love was as sweet as mine
I could be Sunday's girl

Hurry up, hurry up and wait
I stay away all week and still I wait
I got the blues, please come and see
What your lovin' means to me

Bonnie Tyler - Holding out for a Hero

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart.

Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry.
Turn around
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and the I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and the I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
and if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever.
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong.
Together we can take it to the end of the line.
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time.
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark.
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight,
forever's gonna start tonight.

Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart.
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark.
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.

Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes

Turn around
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be.
Turn around
But every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am.
Turn around
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you.
Turn around
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better, there's nothing that I just wouldn't do.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart.
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart.

And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
and if you only hold me tight we'll be holding on forever.
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong.
Together we can take it to the end of the line.
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time.
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark.
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks.
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight,
forever's gonna start tonight.

Once upon a time I was falling in love but now I'm only falling apart.
There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
Once upon a time there was light in my life but now there's only love in the dark.
Nothing I can say, a total eclipse of the heart.

A total eclipse of the heart, a total eclipse of the heart.
Turn around, bright eyes,
Turn around, bright eyes, Turn around.

The Beautiful South-10,000 Feet

The part of love that I’m scared of
is the actual taking off
I can take a bumpy landing
But the start must be soft
It must be soft

Some men need your attention
every minute, every hour
Some women need the proof
in every chocolate every flower
Are you asking me down your runway?
I’m asking you to be watchtower
tower, tower, tower
to be watchtower
tower, tower tower

Some men just like the journey
don’t care if it’s incomplete
Some women like a long trip
Some woman short ‘n’ sweet
But if we lift each other up
Let’s make it to 10,000 feet
feet, feet. feet
10,000 feet
feet, feet. feet

The reason I’m still down here
and I’ve never taken off
Is I never had the courage
To rummage through love’s loft
loft loft, loft
The highest loft
loft loft, loft

Cos when we’re finally up there
and the engines have been stopped
the landing won’t be fatal
if loves parachute’s been dropped
dropped, dropped, dropped
love’s been dropped
dropped, dropped, dropped

The Beautiful South-36D

Close your legs, open your mind
Leave those compliments well behind
Dig a little deeper into yourself
And you may find

Come over here just sit right down
Needn't comb your hair, needn't pout or frown
I hear you've turned our young men
Into dribbling clowns

36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

Make their day and go ahead
Remove your clothes lie on their bed
Just a last gasp chance or an outside bet
To the easily led

And before you do just what you do
Here' one thought for you to chew
The men who run the buisiness that you sell
They screw you too

36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

You're just another 365 night stand
But you're so handy, you're so handy
You cheapen and you nasty every woman in this land
But you're so handy, you're so handy

Your picture's hanging pretty on the squaddies' walls
You're Steven's, Andy's, you're Ian's, you're Paul's
Your body's through of fondly in the rugby mauls
But you want more

36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?

36D so what (D) so what
Is that all that you've got?
He was trying to save his job
He was, he was trying to save his job.

The Beautiful South-A little time

I need a little time
To think it over
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little time
To find my freedom
I need a little...

Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust

I need a little room
To find myself
I need a little space
To work it out
I need a little room
All alone
I need a little...

You need a little room for your big head
Don't you, don't you
You need a little space for a thousand beds
Won't you, won't you
Lips that promise - fear the worst
Tongue so sharp - the bubble burst
Just into unjust

I've had a little time
To find the truth
Now I've had a little room
To check what's wrong
I've had a little time
And I still love you
I've had a little...

You had a little time
And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you
While you had yours
Do you think I had none
Do you, do you
The Freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good
I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad

I had a little time
To think it over
Had a little room
To work it out
I found a little courage
To call it off

I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time

The Beautiful South-Baby please go

You’ve heard t said a thousand times
But only heard his Broadway lines
So baby please go
Ain’t part of the show

Cause when Romeo needs no cue or prompt
The likelier your little heart be stomped
By baby don’t go
Written in to his show

Cause in the West-End show your life
played understudy to every part
Got given all the dullest lines
Whilst the chorus girls danced on your heart
Baby please go (Baby please go)
Baby please go (Baby please go)
Baby please go (Baby please go)

The sorry tale we’d all applaud
That only dripped and never poured
but baby just go
let him on with his show

The leading snail leaves tell tale lines
The bullshit tower the loudest chimes
But baby please go
Ain’t part of the show

Romantic love lines that we adored (Baby forget them)
They were read by men from idiot board (Baby forget them)
So a message from the wisest guy to broad
is best like flattery ignored
Baby just let him go
let him on with the show
Baby just let him go
let him on with the show

The Beautiful South-Bell Bottomed Tear

This is the dinner prepared
This is the dress that I made
This is the child I brought up
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid

This is the perfume I wore
This is the hotel we stayed
This is the way that I lay
And this is the woman you laid
This is the woman you laid

We promise ourselves this is no one-night stand
Let us draw all the curtains and strike up the band
And I'm thrilled by gentlest touch of your hand we pretend

There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear, through fear

This is the smile that I wore
This is the song that we played
This is the way that I lay
And this is the woman you laid, this is the woman you laid

Next morning our eyes filled with sleepy regret
A kiss and goodbye and a long cigarette
But the pillow I lay on is cold and it's wet
Can't pretend

It's a tear, it's a tear
Not through confusion, through fear, through fear
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

Roll out the red carpets and unplug the phone
Root out the photos you've already shown
Cos this is one night you won't sleep alone
Just one night

There's a tear there's a tear
Not through confusion through fear, through fear
And knowing at least that love came so near
Just adds to the weight of this bell bottomed tear

There's a tear, there's a tear
Not through confusion, through fear
Not through confusion, through fear.

The Beautiful South-Chicken Wings

Well I always knew you'd take the crutches
and not the skis
I always knew you'd take the stilts
and then your knees
When God gave you the sky
I knew you'd take the trees
Son you've grown those chicken wings
You just can't fly

They anchored our dream yacht to ocean bed
chained our ideal home to bicycle shed
Clamped our racing car before we sat in driver's seat
Tied our shooting stars and wrapped them round a tree

We could've courted Einstein
could've courted Marx
we could've gone for strolls
like other families do in parks
Son you were born a dud
in a family without sparks
Yes you've got those chicken wings
You just can't fly

The chequered flag
that losers despise
never flew in our port
or harboured in our eyes
Cause we always formed that queue
for second prize
This family's got those chicken wings
we just can't fly

Our winning tickets ripped up into shreds
The tale of this family, is its heads
We're bouncing on a pogo stick
without any springs
It hurts me to admit this
but we've got those chicken wings

Yes you've got those chicken wings
and all the luggage that the failure brings
Is a swallow flying high that sings
Look he's got those chicken wings
He may as well die

The Beautiful South-Dumb

It doesn't take a mathematician
To add a simple sum
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb

Dumb, dumb, dumb

it doesn't take Robert the Bruce
To see the web you've spun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb

Dumb, dumb, dumb

It doesn't take a labrador
To show a blind man sun
Either you are simply beautiful
Or I am simply dumb

Dumb, dumb, dumb

The sun, the sky, the moon, the stars
Jupiter, Neptune and Mars
All these things I clearly see
It don't take a telescope for you to love me

Dumb, dumb, dumb

The Beautiful South-Final Spark

Well the dice that I roll
Never seems to land on six
and that 48 card pack
is short of some of my old tricks

The horse I bet on all those years ago
is probably still running round the track
Like the marriage that I gambled on
I’m due my money back

We could’ve learned, me could’ve burned
from the firework love ignites
but that sparkler of romance
it proved impossible to light
If your country code or your green cross code
It can leave a lasting mark
History books have showed,
follow safety code
and stamp out your final spark

Well the husband that I married once
I should've kept him in a cage
Kept him sitting waiting there
to show the tortoise middle age

Cause you never back an animal
that struggles on two legs
I’d rather back a stray with three
than one that sits up and just begs

Milk will curdle, cheese go off
expensive wine mature kids grow up,
parents down
husbands turn to tragic bore

Receipts and life insurance all very well
but don’t fully cover hate
So you can’t return this idiot
When he’s past his sell-by date

The Beautiful South-Half Hearted

I’ve only got one real fan
She is not women, she is not man
She’s got her own coat of arms and her tartan and her own clan
Her clan surpasses beauty
always love and never duty
A beauty that feels so alien to this land

These feelings should be censored they should be banned
But when you put a porn-star in these hands
I'm the 6 month old with the keys to his own pram
You got this straight to play the fool
Miss out nursery, miss out school
And gave the bullet train option to this old abandoned tram

How do you make so special look like dross
How do you make expensive look budget cost
If it’s power to the workers then you are the boss
You make bluebells look like moss

Give a second coat to gloss
And made Lennon’s little Ono look like doss
If prostitution was not illegal
You'd make cheap sex look so regal
Make the hottest little joint in town look like frost

The famous they get stalkers they get pests
But I’d rather get a bullet right through my chest
All that Lennon could imagine
was not you, was just a fraction
and all half-hearted get is second best

The Beautiful South-Hit Parade

No one wrote a song for me
Just instrumental not too long
As sure as sure could ever be
You'd only get the lyrics wrong

No solo Chet Baker ever played
lowered me slowly to my grave
The prose that Keats and Yates would save

I have no poem that describes my charm
No story told that's short and sweet
I have no hymn, I have no psalm
This song I have it has no beat
Yes it has no beat
No tapping of feet
Yes it has no beat

Miles Davis played the black 'n' blues
Did he play for me to lose?
Cause just when round midnight falls
That tune's not his it's Kenny Ball's

Now on that graveyard on that grave
On that tombstone in the shade
No poem written, no accolade
No "We loved you" ever sprayed

There's just this feeling from that moss
When epitaph you cannot read
he must have lived it at budget cost
So he deserves to be beneath

All that William Robinson wrote
not one of my pluses did he portray
those lyrics stuck right down my throat
I never hit
It never hit
My hit parade

The Beautiful South-Hot on the heels of heartbreak

If you could pull yourself away from that mess
surely if you could pack a punch then you can pack a dress
cause hot on the trail of self pity is wilderness
like hot the heels of heartbreak is happiness

It's an upward struggle just to be yourself
and if I climb too far I’ll end up on the shelf
When sorry's have been said and tears, tears have dried
I’m still the easy route to easy ride

If you could just have a good word with yourself
convince yourself you're you and no-one else
Restore your confidence and your pride
A soldier don’t need no-one by their side

It seems as though there’s only me to blame
Pushover, must be my middle name
Just because he flushed love down the drain
Doesn’t mean your little heart can’t be reclaimed

And I know that what I’ve chosen’s second best
And if the passport was there then I’d say yes
But departure leaves a fully feathered nest
this easy bird is easily impressed
this easy bird is easily impressed

Your little wings broken, nest destroyed
The love that he talked of null and void
If you knew you were a plaything with which they toyed
Your little heart would now be the employed

. Neat time I choose to love I’ll take good aim
Miss out on his sweet talk and his blame
Then when I miss the target I can’t complain
It’s only the sure-shot actually feels the pain

The Beautiful South-How long's a tear take to dry?

How long's a tear take to dry
When a woman has no breeze?
How long's a tear take to dry
When a woman's, when a woman's on her knees?

How long's a tear take to dry
When a woman hasn't sinned?
How long's a tear take to dry
When the weather, when the weather brings no wind?

Look I'm sorry that I hurt you
You look a million dollars and a dime
Time's the greatest healer
But love's the greatest stealer of all time

I'm so sorry, (make it plural) - My heart's broken, (mine's the same)
I still love you, (make it plural)
You're so sweet!
The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave
The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave

How long's a tear take to dry
When almighty brings is rain?
How long's a tear take to dry
And do tears, and do tears really stain?

This heart was like a tardis
I went and lost the key in a fight
I've never found a locksmith
Will you be my locksmith tonight?
(Will I shite)

I'm so sorry, (make it plural) - My heart's broken, (mine's the same)
I still love you, (make it plural)
You're so sweet!
The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave
The flowers smell sweeter, the closer you are to the grave

How long does sorry really last
Is it tattooed upon your heart?
Or is it hung in a museum
With your Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa ex-ass art?

I have no summer (I'll buy you summer)
I'll buy July, if December makes you cry
A little or no trace face belies a lie of many days gone by
A little or no trace face belies a lie of many days gone by

The Beautiful South-If we crawl

If we crawl at 2, we could crawl at 22
and grovel at the drop of a hat
And once they’ve got you down there
It’s so hard to re-straighten your back
If we crawl at 2, we could crawl at 102

And the target brainless don’t quite reach
covered so kindly in your opening speech
Is a tiny crab of thought on a sideways beach
Let lessons not the pupils teach
Justice not the lessers breach
And maggots not have finger wagged at by leech

Well I made sure I wrote this song in Braille
So you could touch the words, the words that sail
From my mouth back to the jail
you could touch the words that sail
From the mouth back to the jail
That is posing as tongue

Curtsies, bows, thank you sirs and the wearing of a business suit
lead to complaints of backache and end with a Nazi salute
And once they’ve got you down there
It’s so hard to re-straighten your back
If we crawl at 2, we could crawl at 222

I was handed down the looks of a man with a broken nose
That's the way our family was I suppose
But at least you gave me deeply profound
As we lay and chatted late upon the cricket ground
You didn't have to love me
Where others got rid
You didn't have to treat me like a very good friend
But I'm glad that you did

One trhing I never said to you
And one thing I never can
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
I'm your No. 1 fan
I'm your No. 1 fan

I'm the richly blessed daughter of a mother with tattoed arms
That's the way my family life, life was charmed
But at least it gave me mental grace
And a thought at the pit om my mind and a smile on my face

You didn't have to listen
To a word that I'd said
You didn't have to tell me all those silly old jokes
For every tear that I shed
Every tear that I shed

Cos one thing I never said to you
And one thing I never can
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
I'm your No. 1 fan
I'm your No. 1 fan

I was handed down a bike with a crooked old wheel
But I rode it on a million lanes the way that you made me feel
But at least we thought about it so lang and hard
As we sat upon our mother in the graveyard

And you don't have to listen
To a word in this song
Your picture hangs the same and in the same old place
Even though that you've gone

Cos one thing I never said to you
And one thing I never can
Amongst the false applause and the deafening cheers
I'm your No. 1 fan
I'm your No. 1 fan
Yes I am
I'm your No. 1 fan

The Beautiful South-I think the answers yes

I'm walking through these pastures
I'm picking up sweet fruit
I'm shaking hands with people
That previously I'd shoot
But nothing will dissuade me
Nothing will dilute
I want to execute
I want to execute

And you tend to meet a lot of scum en route
It doesn't mean you've joned the other side
And becausee I still wear shorts and my smile is oh so cute
It doesn't mean I'll run away and hide

To a world where the leaders finally confess
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
To the bunning of the Stock Exchamge and bombing of the press
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)

I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes

I'm walking through these corridors
Where crime meets pantomime
They're laughing and they're drinking
On the swill of overtime
And no-one seems to know about
The death-wish that they've signed
Ah, life's unkind
Ah, life's unkind

And they see me as a potential new recruit
They rub their hands, slap their backs amd smile
But I still wear suspenders underneath my business suit
So needn't worry about me for a while

So to a world without hunger, where royalty face death
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)
To the breaking down of barriers of North, South,
East and West
(I think the answer's yes, I think the answer's yes)

I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes

And no-one seems to know about
The death-wish that they've signed
Ah, life's unkind
Ah, life's unkind
Life's unkind, life's unkind
From poor old U2 to poor old Simple Minds
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
Rope or gas, rope or gas, rope or gas
No amnesty for murderers of poor old working class
Rope or gas, rope or gas

The Beautiful South-Just checkin'

I came in here, just to see his guilty face
I'm just checkin'
He's been dead twenty years but I sort of miss the chase
I'm just checkin'

I've seen folk just like her, pop their noses round the door
They're just checkin'
If this is where their husband was between 1 and 4
They're just checkin'

Nothing hits so definite, hits so hard
When he's moved from Old White Hart
and he's doing the Old Graveyard
We're running a check. On the love we had taken away
We're running a check. That death wasn't fortnight astray
Nothing hits so definite (repeat)

The mask of sobriety for afternoons he'd save
I'm just checkin'
If he could fool me regularly he'd certainly fool his grave
I'm just checkin'

I've seen those widows pray for the hunt that was taken away
They're just checkin'
They pretend they've just popped by like they popped by yesterday

I came round here in case he left a slate
No one settles up around here, like the widowed or the late
We've seen folk like you settle bills or family feuds
But no one's bought a drink for those that death excludes
We're just checkin'
We're just thinkin'
We're just sinkin'

The Beautiful South-Let Love Speak Up Itself

Don't whisper love and dream of wedding bells
Don't do all the talking, let love speak up itself
Let love speak up itself

So when you feel a little tatty and unhappy with your face
Let it breathe into us and put you back in place
Let it breathe, let it breathe
From the day it came into us till the day it wants to leave
For it will, it will go
And it will not say godbye just likte it didn't say hello
There will not be a send-off, a funeral or mass
Just a pathetic little vodka from a dirty little glass
'To the world's greatest mum
From the oldest swinger in town'

Let love speak up itself
Let love speak up itself
Let it rise up in the morning and take us for that walk
Let it do the talking when we're too tired to talk
When we're too tired to talk

And when you feel unhappy that I'm not the one I was
Let love rot inside and let love palm you off
Let it rot, let it rot
Lite it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
In a knot, in a knot
Let it take your feelings and tie them in a knot
Hang them from a cleaver and say 'Look what we've got
A man and a woman and guess what they forgot'
'To the world's greatest mum
From the oldest swinger in town'

Let love speak up itself

The Beautiful South-Masculine Eclipse

That grand facade will finally diminish
when he breaks your heart from start to finish
Sisters dream of isles in paradise
That ain’t no use when the
Captain’s just capsized
The smile that you now know was a guise
left his clever lips and stole the prize

So women take a loser’s good advice
let your heart go floating out
but use the anchor twice
Don’t feel ever sorry for the dicks
Just grab the dice and hope you roll a six, a six

So as nature gave out semen to the jealous and the sick
Jesus gave out candles to the dim or partially lit
And woman you’re a lighthouse
while the candle only drips
Girl you are a shining star
In Masculine Eclipse

The Beautiful South-The Mediterranean

Little seas can be big seas
To the wrong or long of sights
But the Mediterranean
Looks like aspirin tonight

The Doctor told me the chemist
He had nothing for my plights
But the Mediterranean
Looks like aspirin tonight

This ocean puts in motion
All our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kontiki

I'd rather be cemented
In deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight

Little voyage can be big voyage
If you sail in the middle of night
But the Mediterranean
Needs the compass tonight

It gives cheap thrills to the seagulls
Life to lifes little kites
But the Mediterranean
Is my aspirin tonight

This ocean puts in motion
All our wildest Crusoe thoughts
Turns brain to Kontiki
When it's always been left in port

I'd rather be cemented
In deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight

I'd rather be cemented
In deep blue building site
'Cause drugs can get you higher
But my chosen drug tonight
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is the reliable Mediterranean
Is my chosen my chosen drug tonight

The Beautiful South-The Root Of All Evil

If euro replaces the pound
It's still likely to be shiny and round
Rich may switch the way they feel rich
but not the man who's alive
or the man who has drowned
Keeping pound only makes sense

if you're worth more than 99 pence
Those who have a lot and those who have not
remain francs marks pesetas or cents

If money is the root of all evil
what does that make lover of pound
We'll be eating frogs and modelling clogs
and you'll be hunting french
and dutch with a hound

Now a nation goes to the vote
so our country has its name on the note
Same set of people same boat
need their name in the back of their coat

Heads or tails can't have been won
on whose head graced whatever was spun
If queen's head's not on money they've got

If money is the root of all evil
what does that make lover of pound
We'll be eating frogs and modelling clogs
and you'll be hunting french
and dutch with a hound

Now a nation goes to the vote
so our country has its name on the note
Same set of people same boat
need their name in the back of their coat

The Beautiful South-My book

This is my life and this is how it reads
For every chapter, a thousand memories
A murder, a mystery where everybody bleeds
A fantasy, a thriller with romance and disease

Diary entry 9th of May '62
We've had some ugly babies but none were quite like you
Diary entry '62 end of May
It looks as if the nose and chin are definiteley here to stay
They're here to stay, they're here to stay

If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking
I'm a failure
You are, you are
And if I seem half-hearted, it's because I'm broken hearted
And I'm a failure
You are, you are, you are (I am)
You are, you are, you are (I am)

This is my life and this is how it reads
A documentary that nobody believes
Albert Steptoe in 'Gone with the Breeze'
Mother played by Peter Beardsley, father by John Cleese

Diary entry '68 end of the year
A cardboard Apollo 6 has given the all clear
11th December '68 Captain's log
Proposed trip to Mars is cancelled due to fog
It's due to fog, it's due to fog

If my lips start smiling and my knees start a-knocking
I'm a failure

The Beautiful South-Old Red Eyes is back

Old Red eyes is back
Red from the night before the night before
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door

Old Red's in town
And sitting late at night he doesn't make a sound
Just adding to the winkles on his deathly frown

They're only red from all the tears that I should've shed
They're only red from all the women that I could've wed
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue

Listen up Old Red
You never listened to a word the doctor said
He tould you if you drank another you'd be dead

Old Red Eyes is back
His shoulders ache all over and his brain is sore
He pours a drink and listens to his body thaw

They're only red from all the thoughts unused inside my head
They're only red from all the things I could have done instead
So when you look into these eyes I hope you realise
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue

Blue is a streetr without an end
Red is the colour of my hell
Blue is a greeting from a friend
Red is the colour of farewell

Old Red he died
And every single landlord in the district cried
An empty bottle of whisky laying by his side
A lazy little tear running from each eye
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue
They could never be blue

The Beautiful South-One last love song

I once had a friend who I loved from my heart
But I went on and left her 'fore I'd made a start
Now I'm moaning the blues like the rest of the charts
Take me back

So I'll cry with a limp
Just get by on a limb
Till these blue eyes of mine they are closed
So here's to an old fashioned peck on the cheek
And farewell my sweet Northern Rose

Give me one last love song
To bring you back, bring you back
Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black
Give him a chorus and that bit at the end
Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend
Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend'
Let it die, let it die

Those bloody great ballads we hated at first
Well I bought them all, now I'm writing worse
Save us from baldness and saving the earth
Take me back

And I'll smile with a limp
And I'll love with a limp
Till the clouds disappear from above
And as the storm moves away all I can say
Is there's a towel on the door for your love

Give me one last love song
To bring you back, bring you back
Give me one last video, just dressed in black, dressed in black
Give him a chorus and that bit at the end
Where he wails on and on 'bout the loss of a friend
Let him scream loudly 'well this love could mend'
Let it die, let it die, let it die

The Beautiful South-A little piece of advice

Guard your body with the best barbed wire
And ward off foe with the fiercest of fire
But let love unguarded into the strangest of nights

Wear your dresses like they're up for hire
And leave them with your humour in the tumble dryer
And watch yourself stumble down a lane with no lights

School like life turns some men into mice
What you need now is a little piece of

Well they say be wary of strangers
Especially if they offer you sweets
But there ain't no government health warning
On half the mad fuckers you meet

Save yourself personal tragedy
Go back to the man with the sweets
Do yourself schooling favour
Head back to the man with the sweets

Those who feared cancer never had much to say
They bored us at parties onto forty a day
They forced us into corners and onto forty a day

The dentiist's chair is the only time
That anybody ever looks at their mouth
Let the dentist give their teeth something to chatter about

School like life turns some men into mice
To avoid the rat-trap take the mouse's advice

Well they say be wary of strangers
Especially if they offer you sweets
But there ain't no government health warning
On half the mad fuckers you meet

Save yourself personal tragedy
Go back to the man with the sweets
Do yourself schooling favour
Head back to the man with the sweets

The Beautiful South-Pretenders To The Throne

Is it Cologne with it's great cathedral?
Milan with it's glamour and it's pace?
London with it's river and it's bridges?
Lisbon with it's beauty and it's grace?

Funny looking buses
Climb it's pot-bellied hills
And a solitary jogger
Times the time he kills

Do you know where I'm gonna go?
None of you have guessed, so none of you can know
If you've been, that's not where I mean
It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Dragging me down, down, down

Is it Dublin with it's culture and it's wit?
Madrid with it's market square?
Paris with it's bustling cafes?
Hull with it's musical flair?

Do you know where I'm gonna go?
None of you have guessed so none of you can know
If you've been, that's not where I mean
It's got class and it's got excellence like you've never seen

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

As I watch them drop the grain into your fish tank brain
How can you like this place when it never even rains?

Never even rains

Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Your town is dragging me down
Is dragging me down, down, down

Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down
Is dragging me down, down, down

The Beautiful South-Prettiest eyes

Line One is the time
That you, you first stayed over at mine
And we drank our first bottle of wine
And we cried

Line Two we're away
And we both, we both had nowhere to stay
Well the bus-shelter's always OK
When you're young

Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
That you die

Let's take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of Decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
Not through the age or the failure, children
Not through the hate or despise
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Line Three I forget
But I think, I think it was our first ever bet
And the horse we backed was short of a leg
Never mind

Line Four in a park
And the things, the things that people do in the dark
I could hear the faintest beat of your heart
Then we did

Now you're older and I look at your face
Every wrinkle is so easy to place
And I only write them down just in case
You should die

Lets take a look at these crows feet, just look
Sitting on the prettiest eyes
Sixty 25th of Decembers
Fifty-nine 4th of Julys
You can't have too many good times, children
You can't have too many lines
Take a good look at these crows feet
Sitting on the prettiest eyes

Well my eyes look like a map of the town
And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown
But you'll never hear the crack of a frown
When you are here
You'll never hear the crack
Of a frown

The Beautiful South-Property quiz

All the secrets we have shared
Have moved to a couple better paired
So if he impales himself on javelin or spike
I will try my best to be the perfect lookalike

And if he wants to be smart
And enter a property quiz
Every weed in the garden's mine but the lawnmower's his
Every weed in the garden's mine but the lawnmower's his

And if his manhood needs the help of scaffold or even a winch
I will gladly supplement that extra little inch
And if it ever reaches tie-break at the property quiz
If they've got my fingerprints on, they're my tits and fanny not his
If they've got my fingerprints on, they're mine not his

Now you've found someone new
May I watch him do what I used to do
So if he dies an ugly death or even if he faints
I'll be there at the window with my face pressed up against

Maybe I shouted too loud
Maybe you were blissfully deaf
But I hope he's a better sport than he was a ref
I hope he's a better sport than he was a ref

And if his manhood needs the help of scaffold or even a winch
I will gladly supplement that extra little inch
And if it ever reaches tie-break at the property quiz
If they've got my fingerprints on, they're my tits and fanny not his
If they've got my fingerprints on, they're mine not his

I hope he likes to fly
And is a good host to every guest
'Cause there's less chance of dying in a crash than being bored to death
Yes there's less chance of dying in a crash than being bored to death

And if his manhood needs the help of scaffold or even a winch
I will gladly supplement that extra little inch
And if it ever reaches tie-break at the property quiz
If they've got my fingerprints on, they're my tits and fanny not his
If they've got my fingerprints on, they're mine not his

Now you've found someone new

The Beautiful South-Rotterdam

And the women tug their hair
Like they're trying to prove it won't fall out
And all the men are gargoyles
Dipped long in Irish stout

The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no-one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone

And everyone is blonde
And everyone is beautiful
and when blondes and beautiful are multiple
they become so dull and dutiful

And when faced with dull and dutiful
They fire red warning flares
Battle-Khaki personality
With red underwear

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone
Anywhere alone

The whole place is pickled
The people are pickles for sure
And no-one knows if they've done more here
Than they ever would do in a jar

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere
Anywhere alone

This could be Rotterdam or anywhere
Liverpool or Rome
'Cause Rotterdam is anywhere

The Beautiful South-Song for whoever

I love you from the bottom, of my pencil case
I love you in the songs, I write and sing

Love you because, you put me in my rightful place
And I love the PRS cheques, that you bring

Cheap, never cheap
I'll sing you songs till you're asleep
When you've gone upstairs I'll creep
And write it all down

Oh Shirley, Oh Deborah, Oh Julie, Oh Jane
I wrote so many songs about you
I forget your name (I forget your name)
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I forget your name

I love your from the bottom of my pencil case
I love the way you never ask me why
I love to write about each wrinkle on your face
And I love you till my fountain pen runs dry

Deep so deep, the number one I hope to reap
Depends upon the tears you weep, so cry, lovey cry, cry, cry, cry

Oh Cathy, Oh Alison, Oh Phillipa, Oh Sue
You made me so much money, I wrote this song for you
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue, Deborah, Annabel, too
I wrote this song for you

So let me talk about Mary, a sad story
Turned her grief into glory
Late at night, by the typewriter light,
She ripped his ribbon to shreds

The Beautiful South-The River

Love takes time we all agree
and time’s not the easiest to cheat
The water changes one degree
When will the shiver
Of this river
turn to sea

The river does no good so harm
Tempts us like pirates to its calm
Lover’s shanty, devils psalm
Goddamn this river
and its shiver
and its charm

If you got one's A to Z
Don't go dredging riverbed
Use your fins and use your head
This river’s hooked the floating dead

Our lives go bounding down the stream
When will we realise minnow dreams
The frustration eating you and me
Our only wish
to be the fish
that meets the sea

We cannot tell a he or she
Bet us fish can tell a we
We know the seed we know the tree
When will my conker
conquer thee

The cheaper woman and myself
We on both got ladders in our tights
When you’ve been left on the top shelf
you’ve got those ladders in your sights

The Beautiful South-'til you can't tuck it in

Your figure like your friendship gradually grows and grows
The clothes that you thought that you'd shrunk
their size just froze

When the body that you thought of as yours
Just ups and goes
I’ll be happy with the weight
of the partner that I chose

Your quick-step is slower
But your spirit’s still out on the floor and you can still hack it
Cause you know what your feet are free for
And I’ll love my dear
‘Til you can’t tuck it in anymore

Your second grey hair came a month after the first
It didn’t make you better but it didn’t make you feel any worse

Your third grey hair appeared with the fourth on your head
Your fifth sixth seventh sprouted out from your nose and your ears

And I’ll love you my partner ‘til you can’t hide the grey anymore
Your distinguished good looks are the ones young girls cannot ignore
And I’ll love you my partner ‘til the grey hairs the hairdresser’s floor

Your eighth and your ninth and your tenth you just looked to the sky
Like the charge of the Light Brigade was passing you by

Your quick-step is slower
but your spirit’s still out on the floor
When it comes to raw beauty you’ve a whole whorehouse waiting in store
Your corset has grown But you’re still always first to the drawer
and I'll love you my partner
‘til the grey hairs the hairdresser’s floor

The Beautiful South-Tupperware Queen

This reign of plastic that replaced the reign of gold
could'nt have known that you would if feel so undersold
If love was built on hindsight then you surely would have seen
you were joining hands with the Tupperware Queen

Yes you gave a groan when I took that throne
But can you choose a Queen when you behave like a drone
Where the silverware’s not expected and certainly never been
that’s the ideal kingdom of this Tupperware Queen

I didn’t mean to fool you into feeling King
of anything but plastic and what plastic brings
if gold is what she had it's what I could’ve been
the unaffordable dream of this Tupperware Queen

Yes you gave a groan when I took that throne
but don’t expect a gem when you’re quarrying for stone
Where the silverware’s not expected and certainly never been
that’s the ideal kingdom of this Tupperware Queen

In future when that moan has turned to prone
And the slightest groan feels so overblown
Remember you’re a drone
and the Queen however plastic runs the honeycomb

The Beautiful South-We are each other

There's no more little secrets we haven't yet disclosed
We bore the living daylights of anyone too close
And all our cards at Christmas are written to us both
Count them up who's got the most?

Said we'd be close
Said we'd work perfectly
Said that we'd toast
Beautiful company

Closer than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other

We've been through all positions and this one's definitely best
You move Middle East and I'll move Wild West
What happened to our friendship we could easily have guessed
Add it up we're self-possessed

Said we'd be true
Said we'd be so so proud
Just me an you
We'd shout it out aloud

Closer than a sister to her baby brother
Closer than a cat to the child that she'll smother
It's too close for a lover
It's too close for a lover
We are each other
We are each other

The Beautiful South-White Teeth

White teeth, white teeth

Talent is rugged determination
Skill is a little more dull
Genius buggers straight conversation
Makes sure that it's ass is full

So good looking people don't write no poetry
They're too busy holding their hands
You don't go to beach for depth of thought
If your brain's leaking grains of sand

'Cos white teeth are uglier than yellow teeth
False gums never make plans
Little stones hold big stories underneath
But the big stones go to the dance
The big stones go to the dance

When model puts pen to paper
Paper tends to turn to stone
'Cause original thoughts so hard to squeeze
From a face so easy to clone

So good looking people don't write no poetry
They're too busy holding their hands
You don't go to beach for depth of thought
If your brain's leaking grains of sand

'Cos white teeth are uglier than yellow teeth
False gums never make plans
Little stones hold big stories underneath
But the big stones go to the dance
The big stones go to the dance

Whilst the dedicated cancelled the dates on their latest tour
'Cause genius had played that route ten times before
Hardwork made the excuse of being too hardcore
Yes don't fire shots from double barrel if you know you're single bore

'Cos white teeth are uglier than yellow teeth
False gums never make plans
Little stones hold big stories underneath
But the big stones go to the dance
The big stones go to the dance
The big stones go to the dance
The big stones go to the dance

The Beautiful South-Who's gonna tell

Who's gonna tell the orange
they're actually brown
Who's gonna mop up for grey
when they've painted the town
It's the news that everyone dreads
that we're no longer painting it red
that our gag's still funny
but they've opted for a different clown
You were great in the sixties
but we're gonna have to pull you down

Nothing like the sound of the shallow
jumping in at the deep
Royalty's balloon coming down
is a memorable shriek
Nothing quite like the sickening clout
of the dive into pool drained out
You excelled as a Queen
but you'll have to return the crown You were great in the sixties
but we're gonna have to pull you down

Who's gonna tell the tall
they're beginning to shrink
Like who's gonna tell the Swiss
They're no longer in sync
We'll have to get the maroon
in a separate counselling room
say "it may be your washer
but you seem to be fading to pink"
Yesterday's ice cool
doesn't take long to melt and sink

Who's gonna tell the cities
that are acting like towns
they're actually just a village that the posh surrounds
The diplomatic answer
to your 25 stone dancer
is your act's still great
but we can't keep changing a pound
You were Queen in your day
but you're gonna have to give back the crown
You were great in the sixties
but we're gonna have to pull you down

The Beautiful South-You can call me leisure

You look a younger more beautiful version of death
but I’m scared to hold you close or smell your breath
Now your body’s facing east your heart is west
And you can call me leisure and I can call you rest

We can’t stop thinking that we should’ve guessed
We should’ve held you closer to our chest
Cos our shoulders were put there for that test
Now you can call me leisure and I can call you rest

Well you certainly jumped the red at treasure chest
Your joyride didn’t feel bad enough to confess
Till you placed the lemming on this family crest
and you can call me leisure
The donor of poor measure
The scalpel of all pleasure
I’ll call you rest

It’s what we thought God gave us shoulders for
Not to shrug in self pity or to ignore
Instead the helpless ration chances to the poor
We pick your weightless body up from the floor
We pick your weightless body up from the floor

All the minutes, all the hours that you caressed
have been taken to a place that you thought best
If it’s heaven or it’s hell you’re still well blessed
And I shall get my own back when I can call you rest

The Beautiful South-You keep it all in

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

That's right
The conversation we had last night
When all I wanted to do was
Knife you in the heart
I kept it all in

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

Midnight, a husband getting ready to fight
A daughter sleeps alone with the light
Turned on, she bears but
Keeps it all in

Just like that murder in '73
Just like that robbery in '62
With all there things that have happened to me
I kept it all in
Why do you keep on telling me now

You know your problem
You keep it all in
You know your problem
You keep it all in

That's sweet
That conversation we had last week
When you gagged and bound me up to my seat
You're right, I do
I keep it all in

Chris Rea - The road to hell

Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own, reflected in my window
Well, she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadows

She said: Son, what are you doing here?
My fear for you has turned me in my grave
I said: Mama, I come to the valley of the rich, myself to sell
She said: Son, this is the road to hell

On your journey 'cross the wilderness from the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell

Well, I'm standing by a river but the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
Then I'm underneath the streetlights, but the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows

And the perverted fear of violence chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells
This ain't no technological breakdown, oh no, this is the road to hell

And all the roads jam up with credit and there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you
Look out world, take a good look what comes dawn here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road, this is the road, this is the road to hell

Coldplay - Green Eyes

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I came here to talk
I hope you understand
The green eyes, yeah the spotlight, shines upon you
And how could, anybody, deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes

Honey you are the sea
Upon which I float
And I came here to talk
I think you should know

The green eyes, you're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you, must be out of their mind
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
Honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green eyes, green eyes
Oh oh oh oh [x4]

Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

Coldplay - In my place

In my place, in my place,
were lines that I couldn't change,
I was lost, oh yeah. 

and I was lost, I was lost,
Crossed lines I shouldn't have crossed,
I was lost, oh yeah. 

Yeah, how long must she wait for it?
Yeah, how long must she pay for it?
Yeah, how long must she wait for it? 
Oh for it

I was scared, I was scared,
tired and under prepared,
but I´ll wait for it.

And if you go, if you go,
and leave me down here on my own,
then I'll wait for you, yeah.

Yeah, how long must she wait for it?
Yeah, how long must she pay for it?
Yeah, how long must she wait for it?
Oh for it, yeah

Sing it please, please, please,
come back and sing to me,
to me, me. 

Come on and sing it out, now, now.
Come on and sing it out, to me, me
come back and sing.

In my place, in my place,
were lines that I couldn't change,
I was lost, oh yeah.
Oh yeah.

Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real, don't give me fake 
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

Give me one, cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me piece of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest of us

Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh
And give me love over, love over, love over this, ahhh

Come up to meet ya, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need ya
And tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and nurse me your questions
Oh lets go back to the start
Running in circles, coming in tails
Heads on a science apart 
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you love me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing tails
Coming back as we are

Nobody said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start

Ooooohhhhhhh [x4]

A whisper [x4]
A whisper [x4]
I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper [x2]

Night turns to day and I still have these questions
You just won't break, should I go forwards or backwards
Night turns to day and I've still got no answers

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper [x2]

Now I hear the sound of a ticking of clocks
Remember your face, and remember see where you are gone
I hear the sound of the ticking of clocks
Come back and look for me, look for me when I am lost

Just a whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper [x2] 

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty I want to be
In the warm hold of your lovin' mind
To feel you all around me
And to take your hand along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look your eyes I'd find
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing, 't would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind

Diddy di dee dee diddy diddy
Diddy diddy diddy diddy dee dee dee

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind 

 
Won’t be able to feel the pain no more
I can leave this town for other shores
‘Cause I could never make you laugh
Or ever understand what could keep me falling
I turn evil in your hand

Singing all they have is drawn from memory
I’ve got you and tomorrow
You can steal the scene but you’re blind
And the magic can leave you feeling hollow.

The girl that I could never have
Had to go and lose
All that power over me
And I claim victory

Singing all they have is drawn from memory
I’ve got you and tomorrow
You can steal the scene but you’re blind
And the magic can leave you feeling hollow.

Singing all they have is drawn from memory
I’ve got you and tomorrow
You can steal the scene but you’re blind
And the magic can leave you feeling hollow.

So innocent that sweet look in your eyes
No hate, no fear could open
You blessed a part of me
Without knowing

And it strikes me that I 
Could cry at the thought
Of me crying will start me laughing
You blessed a part of me
Without lying     

 

I'd kill anything that flaps around your head darling
We had so much I don't know where it went
God can strike me down if I'm wrong I'll repeat saying
That happiness will get you in the end darling

Some psychic gave me words I've come to dread she said
That happiness would come to you again oh yeah
Your fall will break your splashing heart can mend knowing
That happiness will get you in the end

And my mind is like a maze
And I know the way all around that maze
With you next to me
But I can't find my way out with you around please stay

Those tear stained letters you returned unread saying
That happiness has come to you again oh yes
And all good things must reach their rotten end darling
But happiness will get you in the end
Oh happiness will get you in the end
Oh happiness will get you in the end darling 

 
I hear a lot of stories
I suppose they could be true
All about love and what it can do to you
Highest risk of striking out
The risk of getting hurt
And still, I have so much to learn

I know, 'cause I think about it all the time
I know, that real love has quite a price

And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

My expectations may be high
I blamed it on my youth
Soon enough, I'll learned the painful truth
I'll face it like a fighter
Then boast of how I've grown
Anything is better than being alone

I know, 'cause I learn a little every day
I know, 'cause I listen when the experts say

That a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

As I look back on all my childhood dreams
My ideas of love weren't
As foolish as they seemed
If I don't start looking now
I'll be left behind
And a good heart these days, it's hard to find

I know, it's a dream I'm willing to defend
I know, it will all be worth it in the end

And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this heart of mine

And a good heart, these days, is hard to find (a good heart)
True love, the lasting kind
A good heart, these days, is hard to find
So please be gentle with this, with this heart of mine

A good heart
A good heart
A good heart
A good heart
A good heart
A good heart (FADE) 

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Looking from a window above
It's like a story of love
Can you hear me.
Came back only yesterday
Moving further away
Won't you hear me.

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you

Sometimes when I think of your name
And it's only a game
And I need you
Listening to the words that you say
Getting harder to stay
When I see you

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you


Ba da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da>


Ba da,

Ba da,




All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you

This is gonna take a long time
And I wonder what's mine
Can't take no more
Wonder if you'll understand
It's just the touch of your hand
Behind a closed door

All I needed was the love you gave
All I needed for another day
All I ever knew
Only you


Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,

Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da,
Ba da da da.  

And when it hurts you know they love to tell you
How they warned you
They say "Don't be surprised at someone's lies"
They think they taunt you
But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better than their best

And so you stand here with the years ahead
Potentially calling
With open heart or with a spirit dead
You walk on

Chorus :

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart
Dare to feel
Take the chance
Make the deal

Being an island
Shying from trying
Seems the easy way
Such an easy way
But there's no future without tears

(Chorus)

But if you can stand the test
You know your worst is better than their best

(Chorus)

Lies the reason
Faith or treason
Playing a part
End concealing
Try revealing
Open your heart

(Repeat last section three times and fade) 

 
Take time to see the wonders of the world
To see the things you've only ever heard of
Dream life the way you think it ought to be
See things you thought you'd never ever see

Take a cruise to China or a train to Spain
Go round the world again and again
Meet a girl on a boat meet a boy on a train
And fall in love without the pain

Refrain :

Everybody needs love and adventure
Everybody needs cash to spend
Everybody needs love and affection
Everybody needs two or three friends

Chorus :

These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of
These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of

Take a lift to the top of the Empire State
Take a drive across the Golden Gate
March, march, march across Red Square
Do all the things you've ever dared

(Refrain)

(Chorus)

Like fun and money and food and love
And things you never thought of

These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of

New York, ice cream, TV, travel, good times
Norman Wisdom, Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, good times

(Repeat chorus three times and fade) 

 

The closer you get, the better you look, baby
The better you look, the more I want you
When you turn on your smile I feel my heart go wild
I'm like a child with a brand-new toy

And I get the sweetest feeling
Honey, the sweetest - sweetest feeling
Baby, the sweetest - sweetest feeling - loving you, yeah! 

The warmer your kiss, the deeper you touch me, baby
The deeper your touch, the more you thrill me
It's more than I can stand, girl, when you hold my hand
I feel so grand that I could cry

And I get the sweetest feeling 
Mama, the sweetest - sweetest feeling 
Baby, the sweetest - sweetest feeling - loving you

The greater your love, the stronger you hold me, baby
The stronger you hold, the more I need you
With ev'ry passing day I love you more in ev'ry way
I'm in love to stay and I wanna say

I get the sweetest feeling 
Baby, the sweetest - sweetest feeling 
Honey, the sweetest - sweetest feeling - loving you

I don't know just where I'm going
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom, if I can
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren't quite the same
When I'm rushing on my run
And I feel just like Jesus' son
And I guess that I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I have made the big decision
I'm gonna try to nullify my life
'Cause when the blood begins to flow
When it shoots up the dropper's neck
When I'm closing in on death
You can't help me now, you guys
And all you sweet girls with all your sweet talk
You can all go take a walk
And I guess I just don't know
And I guess that I just don't know

I wish that I was born a thousand years ago
I wish that I'd sailed the darkened seas
On a great big clipper ship
Going from this land here to that
In a sailor's suit and cap
Away from the big city
Where a man cannot be free
Of all the evils of this town
And of himself and those around
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know

Heroin, be the death of me
Heroin, it's my wife and it's my life
Because a mainline in my vein leads to a center in my head
And then I'm better off than dead
Because when the smack begins to flow
I really don't care anymore
About all the Jim-Jims in this town
And all the politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody putting everybody else down

And all the dead bodies piled up in mounds
'Cause when the smack begins to flow
And I really don't care anymore
Ah, when that heroin is in my blood
And the blood is in my head
Then I thank god that I'm as good as dead
And thank your god that I'm not aware
And thank god that I just don't care
And I guess that I just don't know
Oh, and I guess that I just don't know 

 

Just a perfect day, drink sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark, we go home
Just a perfect day, feed animals in the zoo
Then later a movie too and then home

Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day, problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own, it's such fun
Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else, someone good

Oh it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Holly came from Miami, FLA
Hitchhiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the island
In the back room she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
Doop, doo doo, doo doo, doop doo doo ....

Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City is that place where
They said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar-Plum Fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo you should have seen him go go go
They said hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, alright - ha

Jackie is just speedin' away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would've helped that bash
She said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say
Doop, doo doo, doo doo, doop doo doo ....

 
Time crawls
Like an insect
Up and down the walls
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The conspiracy
Of silence ought
To revolutionize
My thought
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The cold light of day
Pours out of me
Leaving me black
And so healthy
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
It jerks out of me
Like blood
In this still life
Heart beats up love
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me     

The last that ever she saw him
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
He passed on worried and warning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a river last saturday night
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through
The trees that whisper in the evening
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
Four am in the morning
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
I watched your vision forming
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Star was light in a silvery night
Far away on the other side
Will you come to talk to me this night
But she couldn't find how to push through
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
I stay
I pray
I see you in heaven far away
Far away on the other side.
Caught in the middle of a hundred and five
The night was heavy but the air was alive
But she couldn't find how to push through
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Carried away by a moonlight shadow
Far away on the other side.

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go when we're grey and old
'Cos I've been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold
So when I'm lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call 
She won't forsake me, I'm loving angels instead

When I'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know I'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I'm right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won't break me
When I come to call she won't forsake me
I'm loving angels instead ....

I was her she was me
We were one we were free
And if there's somebody calling me on 
She's the one

We were young we were wrong
We were fine going along
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say 
And you know the way you wanna play
Yeah
You'll be so high you'll be flying

Though the sea will be strong
I know we'll carry on
'Cos if there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

When you get to where you wanna go
And you know the things you wanna know
You're smiling
When you said what you wanna say 
And you know the way you wanna say it
You'll be so high you'll be flying

I was her she was me
We were one we were free
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
Yeah she's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one
She's the one
If there's somebody calling me on
She's the one

I know I stand in line until you think you have the time 
To spend an evening with me
And if we go some place to dance I know that there's a chance 
You won't be leaving with me
Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place 
And have a drink or two 
And then I go and spoil it all 
By saying something stupid like "I love you" 

I can see it in your eyes you still despise 
The same old lies you heard the night before 
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true and never seemed so right before 

I practice every day to find some clever lines 
To say to make the meaning come true 
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late 
And I'm alone with you 
The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and oh the night so blue 
And then I go and spoil it all 
By saying something stupid like "I love you" 

The time is right, your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and oh the night so blue 
And then I go and spoil it all 
By saying something stupid like "I love you - I love you
I love you - I love you - I love you ...." 

Secrets of lovers
Whisper tonight
Broken down angel
Got lost in the cold daylight
The city is screaming
And I look for your eyes 
Someone to lean on through the night
Your music talks to me and hits me tonight
One candle burning, I hear your voice say 

So let there be love
Let there be love
Love
Let there be love 

It heals and it hurts
She leads you to heaven's door
And leaves you for dirt 
Someone to lean on, that's your own
Some magic conquers me and lives in my soul
She comes like an ocean and I hear you sing
Love will conquer anything 

So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love 

The wall's down
They're coming down
I can't slow
I know it now
So stay now
Hold on
And I'm praying 

So let it be love
Let it be love
Love
Let it be love 

I know what I want
I know what I feel
I know what I want 
So let there be love
So let there be love
Let there be love 

Holding back the years
Thinking of the fear I've had so long
When somebody hears
Listen to the fear that's gone
Strangled by the wishes of pater
Hoping for the arms of mater
Get to me the sooner or later

Holding back the years
Chance for me escape from all I know
Holding back the tears
There's nothing here has grown
I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever could, yeah

Oh, I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on

Well, I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those years
And nothing had the chance to be good
'Cause nothing ever could, oh

Oh, I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on 
Holding, holding, holding 
I say - ooh yeah 
It's all I have today, it's all I have to say

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder though
Sexily so, I'm gonna do the right thing

I'm feeling hot, I ain't never gonna stop
To get what you got, you better take what I bring
I feel it now much harder now
More than any old how, say you feel the pain

Feel I'm getting harder now 
Get off your back four, get on top more
Feel I'm sinking farther down 
Get off your back four, get on top more

I told you to stop, you're sleeping out a lot
You told me get lost, where's your understanding?
I feel it now, much harder than I've ever done now now
Hey, I'm gonna do the right thing
Let me tell you what I wanna do, hit me now

I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing 
I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing

Feel I'm getting harder now 
Get off your back four, get on top more
Feel I'm sinking farther down 
Get off your back four, get on top more

In the middle of the night, when the time is right
Oh sexily right, I'm gonna do the right thing
Gonna move you slow, much harder than I've ever done now now
Hey, I'm gonna do the right thing
Let me tell you now, hit me now, hit me now

I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing 
I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing - one more time now
I, oh I, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing - early in the midnight hour
I, oh I, oh I - ooh yeah

I, I'm on fire now, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing 
I, I'm on fire now, oh I, I'm gonna do the right thing - yeah 

The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know, I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want? I want to change
And what have you got when you feel the same?

Even though I know, I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one, tell me there's no other love
Jesus was an only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a 
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a 
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a 
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one, tell me there's no other love
Jesus was an only son for you

And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved
And I still believe that I cannot be saved 

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel

Believe, believe in me, believe, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight, tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in the city by the lake
The place where you were born

Believe, believe in me, believe, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, tonight, so bright
Tonight, tonight

We'll crucify the insincere tonight - tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight - tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night - tonight
In the indescribable moments of your life - tonight
The impossible is possible tonight - tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you - tonight
Tonight, tonight 
Tonight, tonight

Riding along on my push-bike, honey
When I noticed you
Riding down town in a hurry, honey
Down South Avenue

You looked so pretty
As you were ridin' along
You looked so pretty
As you were singin' this song

Well, I put on the speed and I tried catching up
But you were pedalling harder too
Riding along like a hurricane, honey
Spinning out of view

You looked so pretty
As you were ridin' along
You looked so pretty
As you were singin' this song

Sing this song
Round round, wheels going round round round
Down up, pedals down up down
But I got to get across to the other side of town
Before the sun goes down
Hey hey 

Now we're riding along on the bicycle, honey
That's a bicycle built for two
I'm lookin' at my honey in the rear view mirror
And now I got a better view 

You looked so pretty
As you were ridin' along
You looked so pretty
As you were singin' this song

Sing this song
Round round, wheels going round round round
Down up, pedals down up down
But I got to get across to the other side of town
Before the sun goes down
Hey hey 

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're lookin for 
Hey don't come around here no more

I've given up stop, I've given up stop 
I've given up stop on waiting any longer
I've given up on this love getting stronger
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more

I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're lookin for 
Hey don't come around here no more

I've given up stop, I've given up stop 
I've given up stop, you tangle my emotions
I've given up honey, please admit it's over

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more

Stop walking down my street
Don't come around here no more
Who do you expect to meet
Don't come around here no more
And whatever you're lookin for 
Hey don't come around here no more, hey

Honey please don't come around here no more
Whatever you're lookin for

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, is crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a free-way runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

Now I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'

An' all the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Blvd.
An' all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
An' the good girls are home with broken hearts

Now I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'

Free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a
Free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm 

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I gotta free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

And I'm free - free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a 
Free fallin' - free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a 
Yeah, I'm free - free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a
Free fallin' - free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a 

Free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a
Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'
Oh - free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a
Free fallin' - free fallin' - I'm a free fallin' - I'm a ....

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you, ah
I can't live with or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied, my body bruised
She's got me with
Nothing to win and nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live with or without you

Oh oh oh oh ....

With or without you
With or without you, oh
I can't live with or without you
With or without you

The song of a little bird
The joy in three little words
I know it's real
That's how it feels
To be loved by you
The stars from a midnight sky
The melody from a lullaby
There's nothing real
That I wouldn't steal
To be loved by you

To be loved by you
If everybody knows
It's only 'cause it shows

A smile to put you on a high
A kiss that sets your soul alight
Would it be all right if I spent tonight
Being loved by you

To be loved by you
If everybody knows
It's only 'cause it shows

Your love is released
And you move me with ease
And you rescue me time after time
Oh Oh you give your all
And you take it all in your stride

Oh with all the power of a symphony
That's how my heart beats when you're holding me
I can't conceal, this is how it feels
To be loved by you
Oh yeah, to be loved by you
If everybody knows, it's only 'cause it shows
Because I take your love, Everywhere I go

I know what it is I need, it's clear as a shallow stream
It's as it seems, my only dreams
To be loved by you

There she stood in the street 
Smiling from her head to her feet 
I said "Hey, what is this" 
Now baby, maybe she's in need of a kiss 
I said " Hey, what's your name baby" 
maybe we can see things the same 
Now don't you wait or hesitate 
Let's move before they raise the parking rent 

All right now baby, it's all right now 
All right now baby, it's all right now 

I took her home to my place 
Watching ev'ry move on her face 
She said " Look, what's your game baby 
are you tryin' to put me in shame?" 
I said " slow don't go so fast, 
don't you think that love can last?" 
She said " Love, Lord above, 
now you're tryin' to trick me in love" 

All right now baby, it's all right now 
all right now baby, it's all right now 

That's all for now, take care and I'll 
be back with more in a few days

I see a bad moon a'risin' 
          I see trouble on the way
          I see varied quakes and lightnin'
          I see a bad time today
          
          Don't go around tonight
          Well it's bound to take your life
          There's a bad moon on the rise
          
          I hear hurricane's a'blowin'
          I know the end is comin' soon
          I hear rivers over flowin'
          I hear the voice of rage and ruin
          
          Don't go around tonight
          Well it's bound to take your life
          There's a bad moon on the rise
          
          Hope you got your things together
          Hope you are quite prepared to die
          Looks like we're in for nasty weather
          One eye is taken for an eye.
          
          Don't go around tonight
          Well it's bound to take your life
          There's a bad moon on the rise
          
          Don't go around tonight
          'cos it's bound to take your life 
          There's a bad moon on the rise 
          

Some folks are born made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no senator's son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Yeah!
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, How much should we give?
Ooh, they only answer More! more! more! yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no military son, son.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, one.

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

          Left a good job in the city
          working for the man every night and day
          but I never lost a minute of sleepin'
          worrying 'bout the way things might have been
          
          Big wheel keep on turning
          Proud Mary keep on burning
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on a river
          
          Seen a lot of places in Memphis
          Honked a lot of pain down in New Orleans
          But I never saw the good side of the city
          'Til I hitched a ride on the river boat queen
          
          Big wheel keep on turning
          Proud Mary keep on burning
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          
          If you come down to the river
          Bet you gonna find some people who live
          You don't have to worry though you have no money
          People on the river are happy to give
          
          Big wheel keep on turning
          Proud Mary keep on burning'
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
          Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river 
          

Long as I remember the rain's been coming down.
Clouds of myst'ry pouring confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun;
And I wonder,still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, trying to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pouring, falling on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain

I'm told the case is now closed 
So I can come to my senses 
But when the question is posed 
I'll have this meager defense 

I was hoping that you'd know better than that 
I was hoping but you're an amateur 
I was hoping that you'd know better 
But I've been wrong before 
Despite conclusions I drew 
There was a chance you'd surprise me 
And you'd be better than you 
'Cause I'd have left otherwise 

I was hoping that you'd know better than that 
I was hoping but you're an amateur 
I was hoping that you'd know better 
But I've been wrong before
So I wasn't thinking clearly 
So you didn't think at all I thought that was protocol 

-piano/guitar solo- 

I was hoping that you'd know better than that 
I was hoping but you're an amateur 
I was hoping that you'd know better 
But I've been wrong before
I was hoping that I was hoping but you're an amateur 
I was hoping that you'd know better 
But I've been wrong before

Now that I've met you
would you object to
never seeing each other again
cause I can't afford to
climb aboard you
no one's got that much ego to spend


So don't work your stuff
because I've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely


Cause I'm just a problem
for you to solve and 
watch dissolve in the heat of your charm
but what will you do when
you run it through and
you can't get me back on the farm


So don't work your stuff
because I've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely


You're on your honor
cause I'm a goner
and you haven't even begun
so do me a favor
if I should waver
be my savior
and get out the gun


Just don't work your stuff
because I've got troubles enough
no, don't pick on me
when one act of kindness could be
deathly
deathly
definitely

Guys like me
we don't know how it feels
absentee even closing the deal
but every player there's a ... in the funnel real(?)
but never with guys like me

cuz guys like me
we look good at the game
you'll agree
with the odds on the ... 
and put your money on the
bona fide heavyweight
and take it off guys like me
and take it off guys like me

the more you close but never really
looking warm but feeling chilly
you'll describe us as empassioned
when it's just a front we fashion

cuz guys like me we all vow to become
clear and free of the fife and drum
walk the circulation ... all completely ... 
let's hear it for guys like me 
let's hear it for guys like me
let's hear it for guys like me

One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience
You'll ever know 
Yes, it's the saddest experience
You'll ever know 
Because one is the loneliest number
That'll you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number 
That you'll ever know 

It's just no good anymore 
Since you went away
Now I spend my time
Just making rhymes
Of Yesterday


Because one is the loneliest number 
That you'll ever do 
One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever know 

One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number 
One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do 
One is the loneliest number
Much much worse than two 
One is a number divided by two

[Lalisha]
Step into my secret world
Tonight I'm going to be your private angel
I just want to be your girl
Love you all night, love you all night
Slip into a heated bath
The scent of cherry blossoms fills the air
As I rub your body down
You can just relax and let me work it
Candles, Chardonnay and flowers
Preparing for the hour

[Chorus]
We can bath in my red light
Getting naughty through the night
Sharing love and all love sounds
When the shades go down, when the shades go down
In the comfort of my bed
Silk, satin and jade, exotic pleasures can be found
When the shades go down, when the shades go down

[Alia]
Something's on the menu tonight
I know you're going to like it from the first bite
Tell me what's your appetite
Do you like it raw, do you like it raw
Kisses, there so warm on the skin
Come and taste the sweetness that's within
Candles, Chardonnay and flowers
Preparing for the hour

[Chorus]

[Lalisha]
You and I through the night
Impressions from my fingers
And my fingertips leave
Impressions of the love's intensity

[Alia]
See the pleasures of love in the lowest tattoos
Like a joyous slick I'm waiting for you
Dive into my waters and ride the waves
Everytime the love is made
See the pleasures of love in the lowest tattoos
Like a joyous slick I'm waiting for you
Dive into my waters and ride the waves
It's time to pull down the shades

[Chorus]

It feels so good 
I knew that it would 
Nothing's gonna take this day away 
Cos it feels so nice 
Oh so right 
Nothing's gonna take this day away 

Was only yesterday 
I tried to get away 
And now this feeling makes you turn around 
I was so very sure 
What I was wishing for 
And now my feet can hardly touch the ground 

Cos the sun is shining 
Holiday timing 
I needed something to rescue me 
Feeling ordinary 
Now I'm ready 
So come on with me 

Cos
It feels so good 
I knew that it would 
Nothing's gonna take this day away 
Cos it feels so nice 
Oh so right 
Nothing's gonna take this day away 

I'm where I wanna be 
Life in so bottle me 
I took my cares 
And left them all behind 
I had to get away 
Deal with them another day 
They're outta sight and out of mind 

Cos the sun's still shining 
No denying 
Something came along to rescue me 
Feeling ordinary 
Now I'm ready 
So come on with me 

It feels so good 
I knew that it would 
Nothing's gonna take this day away

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm.
I've been kicked around since I was born.
And now it's all right - it's O.K. -
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and ev'rybody shakin'
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' Alive.
Well now, I get low and I get high
And if I can't get either I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose.
You know it's all right, it's O.K.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand the New York Times' effect on man.
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
You're stayin alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and ev'rybody shakin'
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, Stayin' Alive.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help, me, yeah.
Life goin' nowhere. Somebody help, me, yeah.
Stayin' Alive --- (to beginning and fade... Well, you can tell.... )

What have I got to do to make you love me
What have I got to do to make you care
What do I do when lightning strikes me
And I wake to find that you're not there

What do I do to make you want me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I say when it's all over
And sorry seems to be the hardest word

It's sad, so sad
It's a sad, sad situation
And it's getting more and more absurd
It's sad, so sad
Why can't we talk it over
Oh it seems to me
That sorry seems to be the hardest word

What do I do to make you love me
What have I got to do to be heard
What do I do when lightning strikes me
What have I got to do
What have I got to do
When sorry seems to be the hardest word

You know you make me wanna 
You know you make me wanna 

To start it off I know you know me 
To come to think of it, it was only last week 
That I had a dream about us, oh 
That's why I'm here, I'm writing this song 
To tell the truth you know I've been hurting all along 
Someway let me know, you want me girl 

Everytime you see me what do you see? 
I feel like I'm a poor man and you're the queen 
Oh baby, you're the only thing that I really need 
And baby that's why 

Refrain 
You make me wanna call you in the middle of the night 
You make me wanna hold you 'till the morning light 
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall 
You make me wanna surrender my soul 
I know this is a feeling that I just can't fight 
You're the first and last thing on my mind 
You make me wanna love, you make me wanna fall 
You make me wanna surrender my soul 

Well I know that these feelings won't end now 
They'll just get stronger if I see you again 
Baby I'm tired of being friend 
I wanna know if you feel the same 
And could you tell me do you feel my pain? 
Don't leave me in doubt 

Everytime you see me what do you see? 
I feel like I'm a poor man and you're the queen 
Oh baby, you're the only thing that I really need baby that's why 

Refrain 

I'll take you home real quick 
Sit you down on the couch 
Pour some Dom Perignon and hit the lights out 
Baby we can make sweet love 
Then we'll take it nice a slow 
(I'm) Gonna touch you like you've never known before 
We're gonna make love all night (oh) 

Refrain (x2)

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark,
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones.
'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

They walked along by the old canal
A little confused, I remember well
And stopped into a strange hotel with a neon burnin' bright.
He felt the heat of the night hit him like a freight train
Moving with a simple twist of fate.

A saxophone someplace far off played
As she was walkin' by the arcade.
As the light bust through a beat-up shade where he was wakin' up,
She dropped a coin into the cup of a blind man at the gate
And forgot about a simple twist of fate.

He woke up, the room was bare
He didn't see her anywhere.
He told himself he didn't care, pushed the window open wide,
Felt an emptiness inside to which he just could not relate
Brought on by a simple twist of fate.

He hears the ticking of the clocks
And walks along with a parrot that talks,
Hunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come in.
Maybe she'll pick him out again, how long must he wait
Once more for a simple twist of fate.

People tell me it's a sin
To know and feel too much within.
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
She was born in spring, but I was born too late
Blame it on a simple twist of fate.

I wanna wake up with you
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
I want you to be the first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you

				
I wanna lay by your side, baby
I wanna feel every beat of your heart
And throughout the night I wanna hold you tight
I wanna wake up with you

Chorus
All the love inside me has been sleeping
Waitin' till the right one came along
You can share the love that I've been keepin' (baby)
You can put the music to my song
					
I wanna wake up with you
I wanna reach out and know that you're there
I want you to be the first thing that I see
I wanna wake up with you

And throughout the night I wanna hold you tight
I wanna wake up with you

You packed in the morning,I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way.

But I miss you more than I missed you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.

Now most every morning, I stare out the window 
And I think about where you might be
I've written you letters that I'd like to send
If you would just send one to me.

'Cause I need you more than I needed before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Left me just when I needed you most.

You packed in the morning,I stared out the window
And I struggled for something to say
You left in the rain without closing the door
I didn't stand in your way

Now I love you more than I loved you before
And now where I'll find comfort, God knows
'Cause you left me just when I needed you most
Oh yeah, you left me just when I needed you most
You left me just when I needed you most.

As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, 
the dawn knows no reprieve 
God give me strength when I am leaving

*So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday 
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness

As we move to embrace, 
tears run down your face
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, 
it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely

Chorus

Morning has come, another day
I must pack my bags and say goodbye, goodbye 

Chorus

Give me time to care, the moments here for us to share
Still my heart is not always there
What more can I say to you

Could I lie to you, I'm just too weak to face the truth
Now I know I should make a move
What more can I say

How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all

When all faith is gone, I fight myself to carry on
Yet I know of the harm I do, what more can I say to you
Now I hold this line, I know the choice to leave is mine
I can't help what I feel inside
What more can I say

How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all

I'll follow through, I'll see I do
When the time is more right for you
I'll make that move, and when I do
Will I doubt again, the way I do

How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons at all

How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons

Just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons at all

How can I fall, I fall, I fall
How can I fall for you

How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons 

The only one I loved, she was a superstar,
The only one I loved, she was a superstar,
The only one i loved, she was a superstar, 
aaaaaaaa…

I dream a dream that can’t come true, 
I can never be with her,
I dream a dream that can’t come true,
Uaauaaaaaa…

The only one I loved, she was a superstar aaaaaa….
She fight what she wanna be,
I can speak her Harvey rain, yaeeee…

Uuuuuu, I am, a weak car…,
I am a weak car…, 
A weak cartoon, 
I, I’ve much love to take, 
Much love to take, aaa…
I was the one waiting,
She, she was a superstar, aaaa…

Aaa…
The only one I loved, the only one I loved, aaaaa…

Aaaaaa… 

Uuuuu…

Aaaaaa…

What do the neighbors say
When they hear us scream at night
Do they talk about a love all in tatters
What do the neighbors know
About the heart and soul
The fire down below that really matters
They can never guess in the silences
That all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane we got here, oh, babe

All I want is you
I don't want a man who says "Good morning, dear", no, I don't
(All I want is you, all that I want is you)
(All I want is you, nobody else, no one but you)

Let 'em listen at the door
Let 'em listen through the floor
Let 'em go ahead and draw the wrong conclusion
So chase me 'round the room
Make me crazy like the moon
They can never guess in the silences
And all I want is you
And the sexy hurricane that we share (we share, yeah)

All I want is you
I don't want a man who tiptoes up the stairs, no, I don't
(All I want is you, all that I want is you)
(All I want is you, nobody else, no one but you)

They can never guess in the silences
That all I want is you (all I want is you)
And the sexy hurricane that we share, oh uh oh

All I want is you
I don't want a man who tiptoes up the stairs (he's gonna fall)
All I want is you
And your freight train
Whistlin' over my track, oh uh oh
All I want is you
And your Mack truck loving
Jumping me, Jack
Oh uh oh, Jack

(All that I want)

And in your eyes I see ribbons of color 
I see us inside of each other 
I feel my unconscious merge with yours 
And I hear a voice say "What's his is hers" 

I'm falling into you 
This dream could come true 
And it feels so good falling into you 

I was afraid to let you in here 
Now I have learned love can't be made in fear 
The walls begin to tumble down 
And I can't even see the ground 

I'm falling into you 
This dream could come true 
And it feels so good falling into you 

Falling like a leaf, falling like a star 
Finding a belief, falling where you are 

Catch me, don't let me drop! 
Love me, don't ever stop! 

So close your eyes and let me kiss you 
And while you sleep I will miss you 

I'm falling into you 
This dream could come true 
And it feels so good falling into you 

Falling like a leaf, falling like a star 
Finding a belief, falling where you are 

Falling into you 
Falling into you 
Falling into you 

There were nights when the wind
Was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If I just listened to it
Right outside the window
There were days when the sun
Was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And I just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever
I finished crying in the instant
That you left
And I can't remember where
Or when or how
And I banished every memory
You and I had ever made
But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When I touch you like this
And I hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming
Back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back
There were those empty threats and
Hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper
There were hours that just went on
For days
When alone at last we'd count up
All the chances
That were lost to us forever
But you were history with the
Slamming of the door
And I made myself so strong
Again somehow
And I never wasted any of my time
On you since then
But if I touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if I kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(It's all coming back, it's all coming
Back to me now)
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, baby, baby
When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
If you forvive me all this
If I forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when I see you like that
We see just want we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming
Back to me now
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And when I touch you like that
(It's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(It's all coming back to me now)
And if we...

When I fall in love
It will be forever
Or I'll never fall in love

In a restless world
Like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many
Moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart
I give it completely
Or I'll never give my heart

And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you

It's been so long now since we first met
But the time and place 
I will never forget darling never.
Through good and bad
we stood the test of time

You say I'm yours and darling
you're still mine - forever.

So smile for me
'cause it's there for all to see.

After all this time
through the rain and tears

After all this time
after all these years -
I'm only loving you again
I'm only loving you again

I'm only loving you again 
(I'm only loving you again).

And I'll keep holding on girl
I won't let go

I want you near me wherever I go
please say forever.
And I give thanks for what you've given me

And in my heart girl
there'll always be a light

That shines through the darkest night.
After all this time
through the rain and tears . . .

So smile for me
'cause it's there for all to see.
After all this time
through the rain and tears

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind those guarded walls I used to go
Upon a Summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach 
The secrets of the Summer I will keep
The sands of time will blow a mystery
No one but you and I underneath that moonlit sky
Take me back to that place I know
On the beach 
Forever in my dreams my heart will be
Hanging on to this sweet memory
A day of strange desire and a night that burned like fire
Take me back to the place that I know
On the beach

There is something that I see
In the way you look at me
There’s a smile, there’s a truth
In your eyes

What an unexpected way
On this unexpected day
Could it be this is where I belong
It is you I have loved all along

There's no more mystery, it is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved all along

There were times I ran to hide
Afraid to show the other side
Alone in the night without you

But now I know just who you are
And I know you hold my heart
Finally this is where I belong
And it is you I have loved all along

There's no more mystery, it is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart searched for so long
It is you I have loved all along

Over and over I’m filled with emotion
Your love, it rushes through my veins
And I am filled with the sweetest devotion
As I look into your perfect face

There's no more a mystery, it is finally clear to me
You’re the home my heart searched for so long
And it is you I have loved
It is you I have loved
It is you I have loved all along

He don't love you like I love you
Don't think about you like I think about you
He don't want to have your children
He don't wanna build his life around you

Tell me I should not be feeling what I am today
Tell me to silence my heart
Tell me We've been here before
and I will walk away from you love

For there is a wall between you and I
And he hasn't been treating you right
I've been watching it all
I seen you cry
And I just gotta tell you tonight

That he don't love you like I love you
Don't think about you like I think about you
He don't want to have your children
He don't wanna build his life around you

Tell me this love's just a feeling and will pass away

Tell me your not what I know you are

I'm never shy but this is different
I can't explain the way I'm feeling tonight
I'm losing control of my heart
Tell me what can I do to make you happy
Nothing I ever say seems to come out right
I'm losing control of my heart

And I wish that I could be
Another better part of me
Can't hear what your thinking
Maybe if I just let go
you'd open up your heart

But I can't read you
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
Can't touch you, your heart defending I get left behind
I can't reach you
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
Can't touch you, your heart protecting I get left behind
No no no no no
No no no no no

I like you so much I'm acting stupid
I can't play the game I'm all intense and alive
I'm losing control of my heart
I'm not supposed to be this nervous
I should play my hand all cool and calm
I can't breathe
I'm losing control of my heart

And I wish that you could see
The other better parts of me
Feel this fire I'm feeling
Then you'd see me in control
And baby then you'd know

But I can't read you
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
Can't touch you, your heart defending I get left behind
I can't reach you
I wish I knew what's going through your mind
Can't touch you, your heart protecting I get left behind
No no no no no

If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

I never know what the future brings 
But I know you are here with me now
We’ll make it through 
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don’t know why you’re so far away 
But I know that this much is true
We’ll make it through 
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right
And though I can’t be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

And when you walk into the room
I feel the world dissolve
I fall at your feet

And when you look at me
I swear the beating of my heart is
About to cease

Oooh, you make me wanna
Deny the world
Deny the man I wanna be
Deny the oxygen that moves inside of me

Deny my friends
Deny the sensibility

I have surrendered now
I only wonder how

Sparks fly when our worlds collide
And I am falling at your feet
Stars shine so much brighter
You make me wanna sit right by 
And watch the world falling at your feet

And when you speak to me
I can't wait for the next word
To fall out of your mouth

And when you close your eyes
I wonder what the thoughts look like
You never let out

Ooooh, you make me wanna
Deny the world
Deny the man I wanna be
Deny the food that brings the energy I need
Deny myself
My individuality

I have surrendered now
I only wonder how

Sparks fly when our worlds collide 
And I am falling at your feet
Stars shine so much brighter
You make me wanna sit right by 
And watch the world falling at your feet

And if losing myself 
Means becoming a part of you
Then I know I'm becoming
Something beautiful too

You make me wanna be a better man

And when you walk into the room
I feel the world dissolve
I fall at your feet

And when you look at me
I swear the beating of my heart is
About to cease

Sparks fly when our worlds collide 
And I am falling at your feet
Stars shine so much brighter
You make me wanna sit right by
And watch the world spin around
and watch the
Sparks fly when our worlds collide
And I am falling at your feet
Stars shine so much brighter
You make me wanna sit right by
And feel 10 feet high
And make the colours seem bright
And my only desire
To sit right by and watch the world
Falling at your feet.

Gimme a reason
Why I'm feeling so blue
Everytime I close my eyes, all I see is you
Gimme a reason
Why I can't feel my heart
Everytime you leave my side, I just fall apart

And when you're fast asleep, I wonder where you go
Can you tell me, I wanna know

Because I miss you
And this is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on

Gimme a reason
Why I can't concentrate
The world is turning upside down
Spinning round and round
Gimme a reason
Why I now understand
The beauty and simplicity of everything surrounding me

You got a way of spreading magic everywhere
Anywhere I go, I know you're always there
It sounds ridiculous, but when you leave a room
There's a part of me that just wants to follow you too

Because I miss you
And this is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on

It's such a hard life in most of the time 
I'm just surviving
That's why I want you to know
In the world where sincerity has lost its meaning
You fill my world with so much hope

And I miss you
This is all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all
You know I miss you
I think about you when you're gone
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on

You know I miss you
And this all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, beautiful
These three words have said it all

You know I miss you
And this is all I wanna do
I know it doesn't sound too cool
But maybe I'm in love with you

You know I miss you
And this all I wanna say
I guess I miss you, nothing's wrong
I don't need to carry on

I just miss you
Yeah, it's true
I miss you, baby
And when you're walking out that door
I know I miss you
You make me wanna ask for more
I just miss you
Yeah, it's true
I miss you, baby

When moonlight crawls along the street
Chasing away the summer heat
Footsteps outside somewhere below
The world revolves, I've let it go
We build our church above this street
We practice love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin, I'm stained by you
And all I have to do is hold you
There's a racing within my heart
And I am barely touching you
 
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable
 
The moonlight plays upon your skin
A kiss that lingers takes me in
I fall asleep inside of you
There are no words
There's only truth
Breathe in, breathe out
There is no sound
We move together up and down
We levitate, our bodies soar
Our feet don't even touch the floor
And nobody knows you like I do
'Cause the world, they don't understand
But I grow stronger in your hands
 
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable
 
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable
 
We never sleep, we're always holdin' hands
Kissin' for hours, talkin', makin' plans
I feel like a better man
Just being in the same room
We never sleep, there's just so much to do
So much to say 
Can't close my eyes when I'm with you
Insatiable, the way I'm loving you
 
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable
 
Turn the lights down low
Take it off
Let me show
My love for you
Insatiable
Turn me on
Never stop
Wanna taste every drop
My love for you
Insatiable
 
When I look in your eyes
Insatiable
The way I make love with you
Oh, what can I do
Insatiable
Insatiable for you

You'll hear my voice 
On the wind cross the sand 
If you should return 
To that black, barren land 
that bears the name of Xanadu 

Cursed without hope 
Was the love that I sought 
Lost from the start 
Was the duel that was fought 
to win a heart in Xanadu 

Now no footsteps leave their traces 
Only shadows move in places where we used to go 
And the buildings open to the sky 
All echo with the vultures cry as if to show 
Our love was for a day 
And doomed to pass away 
In Xanadu 
In Xanadu 
In Xanadu 

(Spoken) 
What was it to you that a man lay down his life for your love? 
Were those clear eyes of yours ever filled with the pain & tears of grief? 
Did you ever give yourself to any one man in this whole wide world? 
Or did you love me and will you find your way back one day to Xanadu? 

You'll hear my voice 
On the wind cross the sand 
If you should return 
To that black, barren land 
that bears the name of Xanadu 

In Xanadu 
In Xanadu 
In Xanadu

we are the stars which sing
we sing with our light;
we are the birds of fire,
we fly over the sky.
our light is a voice;
we make a road for the spirit to pass over

When I look in your eyes, I see the wisdom of the world in your eyes 
I see the sadness of a thousand goodbyes 
When I look in your eyes 

And it is no surprise, to see the softness of the moon in your eyes 
The gentle sparkle of the stars in your eyes 
When I look in your eyes 

In your eyes, I see the deepness of the sea 
I see the deepness of the love 
The love I feel you feel for me 

Autumn comes, summer dies 
I see the passing of the years in your eyes 
And when we part there will be no tears no goodbyes 
I'll just look into your eyes 

Those eyes, so wise 
So warm, so real 
How I love the world, your eyes reveal 

When you're in love with a beautiful woman it's hard
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you know it's hard
Everybody wants her, everybody loves her
Everybody wants to take your baby home

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends
You know that it's crazy, you want to trust her
And then somebody hangs up when you answer the phone
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone

Maybe it's just an ego problem
Problem is, I've been fooled before
By fair weathered friends and faint hearted lovers
And everytime it happens
It just convinces me more

When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch her eyes
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you look for lies
Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you go it alone


Everybody tempts her, everybody tells her
That she's the most beautiful woman they know
When you're in love with a beautiful woman you watch your friends
When you're in love with a beautiful woman it never ends

There'll be no strings to bind your hands
not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
for it was I who chose to start
I see no reason to take me home,
I'm old enough to face the dawn 
CHORUS:
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me 
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
So it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned,
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're the victims of the night,
I won't be blinded by the light 
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me 
Through the tears of the day,
Of the years, baby baby baby 
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby

no way home
bringing the dancing horses
headless and all alone

shiver and say the words
of every lie you've heard

first I'm gonna make it 
then I'm gonna break it
till it falls apart
hating all the faking
and shaking while I'm breaking
you're brittle heart

Billy stands
all alone
sinking sand
skin and bone
bring on the dancing horses
wherever they may roam

bring on the new messiah
wherever he may roam

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you 
Or cancel it, though I know it must be 
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

In starlit nights I saw you
So cruelly you kissed me
Your lips a magic world
Your sky all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Under blue moon I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you 
or cancel it though I know it must be 
The killing time
Unwillingly mine

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La la la la la...

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

La la la la la...

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give your...self to him

Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

La la la la la...

Throw me a line and I'll bring you the hook that caught me 
You reel me in to where I cannot breathe 
Throw me back and jump in after me 

It's happened before but I'll see you're never betrayed 
No wrongs to cure or fears to beat away 
And though I'll run I'll never run away 

I know you think that we're all the same and you say 
That you'll love when love comes you're way but today 
We've both got time to spend not waste 

If you've never been in love with anything 
Why do you stop it now it's happening 
And though you know it now you won't admit 
You've ever been in love with anything 

Never before have I had somebody so close 
I'm lying here wondering why you let me go 
You drive your life like it's a car you stole 

You need to be told that you can only live the one life 
Forever starts before the day you die 
If it get hard just take it in your stride 

If you could see the bad in yourself when you see 
All the bad in everyone else and in me 
You wouldn't need to run away  

All the signs were there for me to see,  
If I cry out with fear I'll feel more afraid,  
So beat the sense back into me,  
Cos you are like forbidden fruit out of my reach  
And I forgot what I had sometimes  

But if everyone has there shot and moves on  
and you can't get out the way  
well it's you wonder will save  

You were mine and now you're mine to want  
And I knew if you'd cut the cord rush like balloons I'd fall  
It's criminal to pause  
as you basked in the seas applause I had it all  
And I forgot what I had, sometimes  

But if everyone has there shot and moves on  
and you can't get out the way  
and its all for the best its all a lie 
That everyone has their day  

Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on  
and you just get in the way  
well its you wonder will save  

La,la,la,
La,la,la,
La,la,la...etc

Don't let them make you feel small with their hands like guns at your head,  
they'll claw but they'll never win if you let wonder in...  

Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on  
and you can't get out the way  
and it's all for the best its all a lie 
and everyone has their day  

Cos if everyone has their shot and moves on  
and you just get out the way  
well it's you wonder will save  

Cos if everyone has there shot and moves on  
and you can't get out the way  
and it's all for the best it's all a lie 
and everyone has their day  

But if everyone has their shot and moves on  
and you just get out the way  
well it's you wonder will save  

Yeah it's you wonder will save  
Yeah it's you wonder will save.

No you're not alone
cause everybody's out there on there own 
but you are one of the seeds
tryin to be like no ones ever been 
and everybody knows that that's the way it goes 
and that's alright with me I've got time

but no its not the end of the world come in town

we know your meant for better 

I found a picture of your smiling face 
Bringing old memories that I had locked away 
The burden of anger from a heart filled with pain 
Was finally lifted and I smile at you again 

Chorus
If time is a healer 
Then all hearts that break 
Are put back together again 
'Cause love heals the wound it makes 

I spoke such harsh words before goodbye 
Well I wanted to hurt you for the tears you made 
You made me cry 
All my hopes and dreams, well they started vanishing 
Those tender hurt feelings became a dangerous thing 

Chorus

All of the years we spent together 
Well they’re part of my life forever 
I hold the joy with the pain 
And the truth is I miss you my friend 

Refrain: 
Wade in the Water 
Wade in the Water 
Children wade in the Water,God's gonna trouble the Water 

Who's that young girl dressed in red 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children that Moses left 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that young girl dressed in white 
Wade in the Water 
Must be the Children of Israeli 
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

Who's that young girl dressed in blue 
Wade in the Water 
Must be Children coming true 
And God's gonna trouble the Water 

Refrain 

If you don't believe I did begin to wade in the Water 
Just see the holy ghost looking for me 
God's gonna trouble the Water 

Farewell, farewell to you who would hear 
You lonely travellers all 
The cold north wind will blow again 
The winding road does call 
And will you never return to see 
Your bruised and beaten sons? 
"Oh, I would, I would, if welcome I were 
For they love me, every one" 
And will you never cut the cloth Or drink the light to be? 
And can you never swear a year 
To anyone of we? 
"No, I will never cut the cloth 
Or drink the light to be 
But I'll swear a year to one who lies 
Asleep along side of me
" Farewell, farewell to you who would hear 
You lonely travellers all 
The cold north wind will blow again 
The winding road does call" 

My young love said to me "My mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind"
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long, lord, till our wedding day"

And she went away from me and moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her move here and move there
And then she went onward, just one star awake
Like the swan in the evening moves over the lake

Last night she came to me, my dead love came in
So softly she came that her feet made no din
And she laid her hand on me and this she did say
"Oh, it will not be long, lord, till our wedding day 

(Chorus)
Pleasure and pain is like profit and gain
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose
Be kind to yourself when you're tired of yourself
Don't go mixing the reds along with the blues
The coach that I ride has a horseman who's tired
The reins to his hands they are tied
The one to alight, if he's lucky, he might
Learn to slow down and drift with the tide
(Chorus)
It's ever so low when there's nowhere to go
And your spirit lies close to the ground
Take a long look behind, I'm sure you'll find
A friend there who'll help pull you round
(Chorus)
You have to agree, it's not easy to see
A sheep underneath all that fleece
If you'll take my advice, stick with people you like
It's a big world, you're only one piece
(Chorus)
Pleasure and pain is like profit and gain
Sometimes you win
Be kind to yourself when you're tired of yourself
Don't go mixing the reds along with the blues

I travel over the sea and ride the rolling sky
For that's the way it is, that is my fortune
There are many ears to please, many people's love to try
And every day's begun rising for the moon
There's a heart in every place, there's a tear for each farewell
For that's the way it is, that is my fortune
I'll lure you as the lace that the wayward gypsies sell
With the sinking of the sun, rising of the moon
chorus:
Rising for the moon, the sun has set and it is dark
But the star of the enchanted tune is bright as any spark
The chorus of the dusk regail the evening lark
Whose every day does start rising for the moon
We travel over the sea and ride the rolling sky
For that's the way it is, that is our fortune
There are many ears to please, many people's love to try
And every day's begun rising for the moon
chorus (x2)

I've heard them lilting
Ere you milking
And I've heard them lilting
Before light a-day

Now they are mourning
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wean away

Sad they for the order
That sent them to the border
The English by guile
For once won the day

Now they are mourning
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wean away

I've heard them lilting
Ere you milking
And I've heard them lilting
Before light a-day

Now they are mourning
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wean away

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor
of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up
like a Union Jack
And says, I've won five pounds if I have his
kind of detergent pack 
I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby 
The telephone is ringing
I say, "Hi, it's me. Who is there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you?"
Well, I guess I'm doin' fine
He says, "It's three a.m., there's too much noise
Don't you people ever wanna go to bed ?
Just 'cause you feel so good, do you have
to drive me out of my head?" 
I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby 
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very queit and peaceful
There was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired
And I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just
like a flag stuck on my window screen
I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby
I say, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd 

Spring’s in the air, there’s magic every where 
When you’re young and in love 
Life seems to be a world of fantasy 
When you’re young and in love 
The moon at night seems to shine twice as bright 
When you’re young and in love 
Each night seems just like the Fourth of July 
When stars spangle the sky 
When you’re young and in love 
Dreams can come true if you believe they do 
When you’re young and in love 
Trust and you’ll find there’s no mountain you can’t climb 
When you’re young and in love 
Though many tear drops are bound to fall 
True love can conquer all 
When you’re young and in love 

There she stood in the street 
Smiling from her head to her feet 
I said "Hey, what is this" 
Now baby, maybe she's in need of a kiss 
I said " Hey, what's your name baby" 
maybe we can see things the same 
Now don't you wait or hesitate 
Let's move before they raise the parking rent 

All right now baby, it's all right now 
All right now baby, it's all right now 

I took her home to my place 
Watching ev'ry move on her face 
She said " Look, what's your game baby 
are you tryin' to put me in shame?" 
I said " slow don't go so fast, 
don't you think that love can last?" 
She said " Love, Lord above, 
now you're tryin' to trick me in love" 

All right now baby, it's all right now 
all right now baby, it's all right now 

That's all for now, take care and I'll 
be back with more in a few days

I've no wish to hurry you luv
But have you seen the time
It's quarter to ten
and we're supposed to be there at nine
I don't think the registrar
Will be very pleased
When we show up an hour late
Like two frozen peas
Both now facing for the first time
Presently and past
Something that begins with M
And ends in alas
More than not complete disaster
Even form the start
What could it be
It's Matrimony 
I know how you've dreamt about
Being walked down the aisle
But think of the money we'll save
And you'll see it's worthwhile
It won't please our mums and dads
But they don't even know,
Besides if they did what's the betting
They wouldn't even go
You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony 
I'm truly grateful for the little things in life
That have made me so glad
Every other hour that I spend with you
Is not in the least bit sad
Quite the opposite in fact
And if you don't believe me
Here's the proof
Ask me if I and I'll say "Aye, I do" 
You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony 
Marriage-the joining together of the two people
For better or for worse Till death them do part
Ole! 
 

I go out most nights
Attracted by the lights
Listen to the jazz in Harry's Bar
And I know it won't be long
Before they play that song
Do you know how wonderful you are
It's a sentimental sound
Make me wanna fool around
With somebody who is wishing on a star
I'll pull my hat down low
Go up and say hello
Do you know how wonderful you are
Oh we struggle with the art of conversation
And there'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's Bar
Though we've only just begun
This sure will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are
I've always struggled with the art of conversation
And there'll be those for whom this song has no appeal
But I know it works for me
And I'm sure you will agree
That it illustrates exactly how I feel
Things can happen fast
Some things are built to last
I've seen it all go down in Harry's Bar
Though we've only just begun
This sure will run and run
Do you know how wonderful you are
Do you know how wonderful you are
Do you know how wonderful you are

Everybody's talking at me. 
I don't hear a word they're saying, 
Only the echoes of my mind. 
People stopping staring, 
I can't see their faces, 
Only the shadows of their eyes. 

I'm going where the sun keeps shining 
Thru' the pouring rain, 
Going where the weather suits my clothes, 
Backing off of the North East wind, 
Sailing on summer breeze 
And skipping over the ocean like a stone. 

I'm going where the sun keeps shining 
Thru' the pouring rain, 
Going where the weather suits my clothes, 
Backing off of the North East wind, 
Sailing on summer breeze 
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same

The look in your eyes
it brings me to life.
With all of your wonder I wanna be yours.
Your song in the night I'm always singing
When there's only the silence holding me tight through the night.
Oh
give me your hand then you'll understand me

Every day is a gift
something we shouldn't miss.
There's no need to run away if you feel that this is for real.
'Cos when it's warm and straight from the heart - it's time to start.

You try to decide if we will sunrive or be torned apart
By the breaking of two aching hearts.
Oh
give me your hand then you'll understand me
. . .
Oh
give me your hand then you'll understand me
. . .
It's time to start
it's time to start.

I don´t know how or where to start
Here we´re standing again
And I see know from where we are
That our road has come to an end
Though we come this far
I don´t know what
But I still can´t see who you are

Chorus:
I don´t want you to cry
Don´t want us to say goodbye
But I know that we´re falling apart
I don´t need your lies
And if you don´t sympathize
Tell me how will I know who you are

It´s to late now but we´re gone this far
To see what´s here within
But we said that we´re never apart
Baby you are trying to hard
To believe in love
I don´t know what
But I still can´t see who you are

Chorus:

Don´t worryI promise it´s for the better
So I think we should let it go now
And maby we find love again

....
Chorus:

I wont make a commitment to no
I can't let myself just go
It's not just I want to
My hearts says no

I'm sorry but I can't stay
I hope that you forgive me when I say

Chorus:
Darling I don't have a hope for you right now
Somebody's playing with my mind
But all I'm dreaming of is to be able to love

I can't give you no guarantee
If that's you want from me
I should have know better
But now you see

I'm sorry but I can't stay
I hope that you forgive me when I say

Chorus

(But all I'm dreaming of is to be able to love)

All I want is to treat you right but I now I can't pretend
It will take just a little longer finding the key to love again

Don't have a heart I need some time
It will take just a little longer to be able to love

Chorus (repeat)

Able to love

One day without you, 
And I feel just like I'm somebody else. 
One day without you, 
And there's a fear there might be somebody else. 
You know that I'd like to keep you, 
Keep you to myself, and by my side. 
You know I'd like to keep you, 
Just like I know it's wrong to try. 
Just like my babies we're born to cry; 
Every bird that sings is born to fly. 
One day without you, 
And I feel just like some lost ship at sea. 
One day without you, 
And every friend I meet seems strange to me. 
You know that I'd like to keep you 
Keep you to myself, by my side. 
You know that I like to keep you, 
Just like I know it's wrong to try. 
Just like my babies we're born to cry; 
Every bird that sings is born to fly. 
One day without you, 
I feel a hole just where my heart should be. 
One day without you, 
And I feel just how sad my life could be. 
You know I'd like to keep you, 
Keep you to myself, keep you by my side. 
You know I like to keep you, 
Just like I know it's wrong to try. 
Just like my babies we're born to cry; 
Every bird that sings deserves to fly... 

We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

'Cause if you want love
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

you want love?
We'll make it
Swimming a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be a while

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body Is a wonderland
Your body is a wonderland

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
But you can be sure I know my part
'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I'll make mistakes
I'll never break your heart

I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear

I'll give you everything I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'Cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all

I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear

I swear
By the moon and stars in the sky
I'll be there
I swear
Like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
I swear
I swear

Well I went down to the Grundy County Auction 
Where I saw something I just had to have 
My mind told me I should proceed with caution 
But my heart said, "Go ahead an' make a bid on that!" 

An' I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign 
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine 
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call 
Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine 
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind 
I'm goin' once, goin' twice, 
I'm sold! On the lady in the second row 
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know 
She's got ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes 
An' I'm about to bid my heart good-bye! 

Well, the auctioneer was goin' about a mile a minute 
He was takin' bids an' callin' them out loud 
An' I guess I was really gettin' in it 
'Cause I just shouted out above the crowd! 

An' I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign 
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine 
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call 
Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine 
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind 
I'm goin' once, goin' twice, 
I'm sold! On the lady in the long black dress 
Well she won my heart it was no contest 
With her ruby red lips, blond hair, blue eyes 
Well I'm about to bid my heart good-bye! 

Yeah, we found love on the auction block 
An' I hauled her heart away 
Now we still love to laugh about 
The way we met that day 

When I said, hey, pretty lady, won'cha gi'me a sign 
I'd give anything to make you mine all mine 
I'll do your biddin' an' be at your beckon call 
Yeah, I never seen anyone lookin' so fine 
Man, I gotta have her, she's a one-of-a-kind 
I'm goin' once, goin' twice, 
I'm sold! On the lady in the second row 
She's an eight, she's a nine, she's a ten, I know 
Shes's got ruby red lips, blond hair blue eyes 
An' I'm about to bid my heart good-bye!

My love, there's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love, you're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I, I want to share all my love with you
No one else will do 
And your eyes they tell me how much you care
Oh, yes you will always be my endless love
Two hearts, two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms

And love I'll be a fool for you I'm sure
You know I don't mind
'Cause you, you mean the world to me
Oh, I know I found in you my endless love 
Oh,- 
And love

And yes, you'll be the only one 
'Cause no one can deny 
This love I have inside 
And I'll give it all to you.

The only thing that's right

and yes, you'll be the only one
'cause no one can deny this love I have inside
and I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love

You have your very own number
They dress your cage in its nature
Once you roared now you just grunt lame
Pace around pathetic pound games

Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround
To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks
Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick
For the outside,
The small black flowers that grow in the sky

They drag sticks along your walls
Harvest your ovaries dead mothers crawl
Here comes warden, Christ, temple, elder
Environment not yours you see through it all

Wanna get out won't miss you sensaround
To carry your own dead to swing your tyre tricks
Wanna get out here you're bred dead quick
For the outside,
The small black flowers that grow in the sky

Here chewing your tail is joy

Drinking - water to stay thin 
Or is it to purify 
I love you all the same 
 
But there's no - no real truce with my fury 
You don't have to believe me 
I love you all the same 
 
But you stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from 
You stole the sun from 
 
You have - broken through my armour 
And I don't have an answer 
I love you all the same 
 
I paint - the things I want to see 
But it don't come easy 
I love you all the same 
 
But you stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from 
You stole the sun from 
 
Think I'm - I'm lost among the undergrowth 
So much so I woke up 
I love you all the same 
 
But you stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from my 
You stole the sun from my heart 
You stole the sun from 
You stole the sun from 
 
I have - I've got to stop smiling 
It gives the wrong impression 
I love you all the same

This time
I’ll be sailing     
No more bailing boats for me
I’ll be out there on the sea
Just my confidence and me

     
And I’ll be awful sometime
Weakened to my knees             
But I’ll learn to get by
On little victories

This time, I’ll have no fear
I’ll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all

And I’ll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
And I’ll learn to get by
On little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
Still little victories

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

      Stairs to nowhere climb
      I take them, all the time
      Crawling on my knees
      Walking that old fine line
      And when I'm alone and scared
      I think of little rhymes
      They would make no sense to you
      But I make them all the time
      And time's all mine
      And time's all mine
      It's the little pills you find
      Crushed to dust, rolling out of sight
      They end up in the strangest places
      But I take them all the time
      And time's all mine
      And time's all mine
      When everyone is false
      I tell them I'm just fine
      I can't remember their names
      But I fake them all the time
      And time's all mine
      And time's all mine
      And time's all mine
      And time's all mine
      And when I'm alone and scared
      I think of little rhymes
      They would make no sense to you
      But I make them all the time

I'm so close I'm almost inside
      Won't be long before the mystery is mine
      I'm so close I'm almost inside
      But there were times I hung my head and cried
      I'm so close I'm almost inside, I'm so close 
	Racing the Tide
      I'm so close I'm almost inside
      A dream unchained that can't escape my mind
      I'm so close I'm almost inside 
      But there were times there was no end in sight
      I'm so close I'm almost inside
      Those big waves we always knew I'd ride
      I'm so close I'm almost inside I'm so close 
	Racing the Tide

Siren with a song in your eye
      Slashing through my ear like a beast
      Seven times I leapt upon your shore
      Every night I let you conquer me
      Serpent with your blue planet eyes
      Passing like a ship through my sleep
      Seven times I kissed you on the mouth
      Every night I let You conquer me
      You're my Queen, You're my Queen

[LUNTHA]

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be. 
I have dreamed every word you whisper. 
When you're close, 
Close to me. 
How you look in the glow of evening 
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view. 

In these dreams I've loved you so 
That by now I think I know 
What it's like to be loved by you,
I will love being loved by you. 

[TUPTIM]

Alone and awake I've looked at the stars, 
The same that smile on you; 
And time and again I've thought all the things T
hat you were thinking too. 

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,
I have dreamed what a joy you'll be. 
I have dreamed every word you whisper. 
When you're close, 
Close to me. 
How you look in the glow of evening 
I have dreamed and enjoyed the view. 

In these dreams I've loved you so 
That by now I think I know. 

[BOTH]

What it's like to be loved by you.
I will love being loved by you.

Hello again Hello
Just called to say: hello.
I couldn't sleep at all tonight
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait.
Hello
my friend
Hello

Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
When I'm here alone
And you're there at home.
Hello.

Maybe it's been crazy
And maybe I'm to blame
But I put my heart above my head.
We've been through it all
And you loved me just the same
And when you're not there
I just need to hear.

Hello
my friend
Hello
It's good to need you so
It's good to love you like I do
And to feel this way
When I hear you say:
Hello

Hello
my friend
hello.
Just called to let you know
I think about you ev'ry night
And I know it's late
But I couldn't wait
Hello.

Come a little bit closer
  Hear what I have to say
  Just like children sleepin'
  We could dream this night away

  But there's a full moon risin'
  Let's go dancing in the light
  We know where the music's playin'
  Let's go out and feel the night

  Because I'm still in love with you
  I want to see you dance again
  Because I'm still in love with you
  On this harvest moon

  When we were strangers
  I watched you from afar
  When we were lovers
  I loved you with all my heart

  But now it's gettin' late
  And the moon is climbin' high
  I want to celebrate
  See it shinin' in your eyes

  Because I'm still in love with you
  I want to see you dance again
  Because I'm still in love with you
  On this harvest moon

On the first part of the journey 
I was looking at all the life 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
There was sand and hills and rings 
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz 
And the sky with no clouds 
The heat was hot and the ground was dry 
But the air was full of sound 

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ... 

After two days in the desert sun 
My skin began to turn red 
After three days in the desert fun 
I was looking at a river bed 
And the story it told of a river that flowed 
Made me sad to think it was dead 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ... 

After nine days I let the horse run free 
'Cause the desert had turned to sea 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
there was sand and hills and rings 
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground 
And a perfect disguise above 
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground 
But the humans will give no love 

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name 
It felt good to be out of the rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ... 

Oh, Great God, be small enough to hear me now
There were times when I was crying
From the dark of Daniel's den
And I have asked you once or twice
If you would part the sea again
But tonight i do not need a fiery pillar in the sky
Just wanna know you're gonna hold me if i start to cry
Oh, Great God, be small enough to hear me now

Oh, Great God, be close enough to feel you now
There have been moments when I could not
Face Goliath on my own
And how could I forget we've marched around
Our share of Jerichos
But I will not be setting out a fleece for you tonight
Just wanna know that everything will be alright
Oh Great God, be close enough to feel you now

All praise and all honor be
To the God of ancient mysteries
Whose every sign and wonder turn the pages of our history
But tonight my heart is heavy
And I cannot keep from whispering this prayer
"are you there?"

And I know you could leave writing on the wall
That's just for me
Or send wisdom while I'm sleeping,
Like in Soloman's sweet dreams
But I don't need the strength of Samson
Or a chariot in the end
Just want to know that you still know how many hairs
Are on my head
Oh Great God, be small enough to hear me now

  I follow the night
              Can't stand the light
              When will I begin
              To live again?

              One day I'll fly away
              Leave all this to yesterday
              What more could
              Your love do for me?
              When will love be
              Through with me?
              Why live life from
              Dream to dream
              And dread the day
              When dreaming ends?
             
	  One day I'll fly away
              Leave all this to yesterday
              Why live life from
              Dream to dream
              And dread the day
              When dreaming ends?

	  One day
	  I'll fly away
              Fly, fly away

Lonestar, where are you out tonight?
This feeling i'm trying to fight
It's dark and i think that i 
Would give anything
For you to shine down on me

How far you are
I just don't know
The distance i'm willing to go
I pick up a stone that i cast to the sky
Hoping for some kind of sign.

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
There is nothing
Oh more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
You know there's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we´re going
No care in the world
And maybe I´m learning
Why the sea on the tide
It has no way of turning

More than this
You know there is nothing
Oh more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
Nothing

More than this
You know there is nothing
Much more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
More than

Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?

Does it seem like I'm looking for an answer
To a question I can't ask
I don't know which way the feather falls
Or if I should blow it to the left

Nightingale
Sing us a song
Of a love that once belonged
Nightingale
Tell me your tale
Was your journey far too long?

All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away

Your toy balloon has sailed 
in the sky now, 
but now it must fall to the ground. 
now your sad eyes reveal 
Just how badly you feel. 
There is no easy way down. 

The view from the cliffs 
must have been exciting, 
and up to the peaks, 
you were bound. 
Now you're stranded alone 
and the past is unknown 
and there is no easy way down. 

And now it isn't very easy 
when you find yourself on your own. 
No it isn't very easy 
when each boat you take, 
is one more mistake, 
there's no one to break, your fall, 
Lead you back home. 

We all like to climb 
to the hieights of love dear 
where our fantasy world can be found 
but you must know in the end 
when it's time to decend 
that there is no easy way down. 

I know it isn't very easy, 
when you find yourself out on your own. 
No it isn't very easy 
when each road you take, 
is one more mistake, 
there's no one to break, 
your fall, 
and lead you back home 

We all like to climb 
to the heights of love dear, 
where our fantasy world can be found 
but you must know in the end 
when it's time to decend 
that there is no easy way down. 

There is no easy way down.

One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind just picked up on the sound
Now you know you're wrong
Because it drifts like smoke
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

The reeds and brass have been weaving 
Leading into a single note

In this place
Where your arms unfold
Here at last you see your ancient face
Now you know
Now you know

The cadence rolls in broken
Plays it over and then goes

One flight down
There's a song on low
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know

If I were a painter
I would paint my reverie
If that's the only way for you to be with me

We'd be there together
Just like we used to be
Underneath the swirling skies for all to see

And I'm dreaming of a place
Where I could see your face
And I think my brush would take me there
But only....

If I were a painter
And could paint a memory
I'd climb inside the swirling skies to be with you

I'd climb inside the skies to be with you

There's a place that I know, where the sycamores grow 
And daffodils have their fun 
Where the cares of the day seem to slowly fade away 
And the glow of the evening sun 
Peace, when the day is done 

If I go there real late; let my mind meditate 
On everything to be done 
If I search deep inside; let my conscience be my guide 
Then the answers are sure to come 
Don't have to worry none 

When you find peace of mind, leave your worries behind 
Don't say that it can't be done 
With a new point of view, life's true meaning comes to you 
And the freedom you seek is won 
Peace is for everyone 
Peace is for everyone 
Peace is for everyone

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone

Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
She's a little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone

The summer days are gone too soon
You shoot the moon 
And miss completely
And now you're left to face the gloom
The empty room that once smelled sweetly
Of all the flowers you plucked if only 
You knew the reason
Why you had to each be lonely
Was it just the season?

And now the fall is here again
You can’t begin to give in 
It's all over

When the snows come rolling through
You're rolling too with some new lover
Will you think of times you told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

Will you think of times you told me
That you knew the reason
Why we had to each be lonely
It was just the season

Don't tell they'll, they'll only drink your tears
don't do it, not in a hundred years
you know it you feel it
i do too
just listen something is calling you

what difference do you think that it makes
if you give or if its you who takes
i know it 
i feel it, you do too
just listen 
you'll hear it calling you

Feeling tired
By the fire
The long day is over

The wind is gone
Asleep at dawn
The embers burn on

With no reprise
The sun will rise
The long day is over

Like a flower
Waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb
In a dark room
I'm just sittin' here 
Waiting for you 
To come on home 
And turn me on

Like the desert
Waiting for the rain
Like a school kid
Waiting for the spring
I'm just sittin' here
Waiting for you
To come on home
And turn me on

My poor heart
It's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all you're the one who turns me off
But you're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune
My glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just sittin' here 
Waiting for you 
To come on home
And turn me on
Turn me on

"What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue

When your feeling low
Oh to whom else do you go
See I'd cry if you hurt
I'd give you my last shirt
because I love you so

Now if my sky should fall
Would you even call
I've opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
I'll love you when your blue
But tell me darling true
What am I to you

Now if my sky should fall
Would you even call
I've opened up my heart
I never want to part
I'm giving you the ball

When I look in your eyes
I can feel the butterflies
But could you find the love in me
Would you carve me in a tree
Don't fill my heart with lies

I will love you when your blue
But tell me darling true
What am I to you"

I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

When I saw the break of day 
I wished that I could fly away
Instead of kneeling in the sand
Catching teardrops in my hand

My heart is drenched in white
You'll be on my mind
Forever

Out across the endless sea
I would die in ecstasy
But I'll be a bag of bones
Driving down the road alone

My heart is drenched in white
You'll be on my mind
Forever

Something has to make you run
I don't know why I didn't come
I feel as empty as a drum
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come

I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning

More than this
There is nothing
Oh more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
You know there's nothing

It was fun for a while
There was no way of knowing
Like a dream in the night
Who can say where we´re going
No care in the world
And maybe I´m learning
Why the sea on the tide
It has no way of turning

More than this
You know there is nothing
Oh more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
Nothing

More than this
You know there is nothing
Much more than this
You tell me one thing
More than this
There is nothing
More than this

Talking to the songbird yesterday 
Flew me to a past not far away 
She's a little pirate in my mind 
Singing songs of love to pass the time 

Refrain 
Gonna write a song so she can see 
Give her all the love she gives to me 
Talk of better days that have yet to come 
Never felt this love from anyone 

She's not anyone 
She's not anyone 
She's not anyone 

A man can never dream these kind of things 
Especially when she came and spread her wings 
Whispered in my ear the things I'd like 
Then she flew away into the night 

Refrain 

She's not anyone 
She's not anyone 
She's not anyone

When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else 
He'll trade the world for the good thing he's found 
If she's bad he can't see it she can do no wrong 
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down 

When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime 
Tryin' to hold on to what he needs 
He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain 
If she said that's the way it ought to be 

Well, this man loves a woman 
I gave you everything I had 
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad 

When a man loves a woman, down deep in his soul 
She can bring him such misery 
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know 
Lovin' eyes don't ever see 

Well, this man loves a woman 
I gave you everything I had 
Tryin' to hold on to your precious love Baby, please don't treat me bad 

When a man loves a woman, I know exactly how he feels 
Coz baby baby baby you're my world

Please lock me away
 And don't allow the day
 Here inside where I hide
 With my loneliness

 I don't care what they say I won't stay
 In a world without love

 Birds sing out of tune
 And rain clouds hide the moon
 I'm OK, here I'll stay
 With my loneliness

 I don't care what they say I won't stay
 In a world without love

 So I wait and in a while
 I will see my true love's smile
 She may come, I know not when
 When she does I lose
 So baby until then

 Lock me away
 And don't allow the day
 Here inside where I hide
 With my loneliness

 I don't care what they say I won't stay
 In a world without love

 ------ organ/guitar ------

 So I wait and in a while
 I will see my true love's smile
 She may come, I know not when
 When she does I lose
 So baby until then

 Lock me away
 And don't allow the day
 Here inside where I hide
 With my loneliness

 I don't care what they say I won't stay
 In a world without love

 I don't care what they say I won't stay
 In a world without love

When I see her comin' down the street
 I get so shaky and I feel so weak
 I tell my eyes look the other way
 But they don't seem to hear a word I say

 And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
 Go to pieces and I almost die
 Everytime my baby passes by

 I tell my arms they'll hold someone new
 Another love that will be true
 But they don't listen, they don't seem to care
 They reach for her but she's not there

 And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
 Go to pieces and I almost die
 Everytime my baby passes by

 I remember what she said when she said
 "Goodbye baby. We'll meet again soon maybe"
 "But until we do, all my best to you"
 I'm so lonely, I think about her only

 I go to places we used to go
 But I know she'll never show
 She hurt me so much inside
 Now I hope she's satisfied

 And I, go to pieces and I wanna hide
 Go to pieces and I almost die
 Everytime my baby passes by
 Go to pieces and I cry
 Everytime my baby passes by
 Go to pieces and I cry

You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds and pearls in your hair

You live in a fancy apartment
Of the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel

You go to the embassy parties
Where you talk in Russian and Greek
And the young men who move in your circle
They hang on every word you speak, yes I do...

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do...

I've seen all your qualifications
You got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes it does

When you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pines
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
When the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
(Won't you) Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes I do

You're in-between twenty an thirty -
A very desirable age
Your body's firm and inviting
But you live on a glittering state

Your name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
He sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh ahaha

They say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
But they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, they give a damn

Where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head

I remember the back streets of Naples
Two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes they try

So look into my face Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear the scar, deep inside, yes you do

I know where you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
`Cause I can look inside your head

It seems like only yesterday. 
That summer night in a small cafe. 
You said "I think i fall in love with you". 
And I said "I feel the same way too". 
Allthough I knew that we could never be. 
And you could never belong to me. 
You became my favourite memory. 
Oh i'm still crazy about ya. 
I just can't do without ya. 
I'll never find another you... No. 
Chorus: 
Nobody else can walk the way you walk. 
Nobody else can talk the way you talk. 
Nobody else can love the way you love. 
Nobody else can touch the way you touch. 
Nobody else can do the things that you do. 
There is nobody like you. 
Nobody else. 
There is no one like you. 
I wish there was a time or a place. 
Where we could meet face to face. 
Ever since we are worlds apart. 
There's a shadow hangin' round my heart. 
I guess you're not that easy to forget. 
In fact I haven't stopped loving you yet. 
Sometimes I wish that we never met. 
Chorus: 
Nobody else can walk the way you walk. 
Nobody else can talk the way you talk. 
Nobody else can love the way you love. 
Nobody else can touch the way you touch. 
Nobody else can do the things that you do. 
There is nobody like you. 
Nobody else. 
There is no one like you

Many roads I've travelled
And faces I've seen
Each tells a story
Of what might have been
A missed golden moment
But life still remains
A search for the innocence
Somehow we lost on the way


And we all need a miracle, that I truly believe
Yes we all need a miracle, and I believe my miracle is you


Now the silence that follows
The last curtain call
I don't know anyone
Who has come through it all
You gave me direction
A part in your cast
No longer make believe
Now that i know it will last


Cos we all need a miracle, that I truly believe
Yes we all need a miracle, and I believe my miracle


And I believe my miracle
I believe my miracle
Yes I believe my miracle is you

Ev'ry night I sit here by my window (window)
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin' hands 'n' laughin' (hahaha)
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do.

(Thinkin' bout things) like a walk in the park
(Things) like a kiss in the dark
(Things) like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) what about the night we cried? (ooh)
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do.


Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
(But you got me now)
When I'm not thinkin' 'bout just how much I love you
(I love you too)
I'm thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do (we used to do)


(Thinkin' bout things) it like a walk in the park
(Things) it like a kiss in the dark
(Things) it like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) what about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do


Still can hear the jukebox softly playin' (playin')
And the face each day I see belongs to you (belongs to you)
There's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
(Oh)
It's just me thinkin' bout the things we used to do


(Thinkin' bout things) it like a walk in the park
(Things) it like a kiss in the dark
(Things) oh, like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) what about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do


And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
You got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do (I hope so)
I'm thinkin' bout the things we used to do

(Talking Until Fade)

Oh it seemed forever stopped today 
All the lonely hearts in London
Caught a plane and flew away
And all the best women are married
All the handsome men are gay
You feel deprived

 
Yeah are you questioning your size?
Is there a tumour in your humour,
Are there bags under your eyes?
Do you leave dents where you sit,
Are you getting on a bit?
Will you survive
You must survive

When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme

Oh what are you really looking for?
Another partner in your life to
abuse and to adore?
Is it lovey dovey stuff,
Do you need a bit of rough?
Get on your knees

Yeah turn down the love songs that you hear
'Cause you can't avoid the sentiment
That echoes in your ear
Saying love will stop the pain
Saying love will kill the fear
Do you believe
You must believe
When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme 
A love supreme

I spy with my little eye
Something beginning with (ah)
Got my back up
And now she's screaming
So I've got to turn the track up
Sit back and watch the royalties stack up
I know this girl she likes to switch teams
And I'm a fiend but I'm living for a love supreme

When there's no love in town
This new century keeps bringing you down
All the places you have been
Trying to find a love supreme
A love supreme

Come and live a love supreme
Don't let it get you down
Everybody lives for love

Repeat...

(Sha la la doo be woah)
(Dum dum dum yep yep dum)
(Sha la la doo be woah)
(Dum dum dum yep yep dum)
Oh blue angel don't you cry
Just because he said goodbye
Oh uh uh uh no don't cry
Oh blue angel have no fear I
Brush away each lonely teardrop
Yee-yee-yee woh oh woh
Well love's precious flame
Just burn in vain
But you're not to blame
He thought love was a game
It's oh such a shame
But don't cry don't sigh
I tell you why
I'll never say goodbye blue angel
(Sha la la doo be woah)
(Dum dum dum yep yep dum)
(woah woah woah woah)
We'll have love so fine
Magic moments divine
If you'll just say you're mine
I'll love you 'til the end of time
Don't you worry your pretty head
I'll never let you down
I'll always be around,blue angel
(Sha la la doo be woah)
(Dum dum dum yep yep dum)
Blue-ue an-angel
(Sha la la)

Everytime I look into your lovely eyes
I see a love that money just can't buy
One look from you I drift away
I pray that you are here to stay
Anything you want you got it
Anything you need you got it
Anything at all you got it
Baby
Everytime I hold you I begin to understand
Everything about you tells me I'm your man
I live my life to be with you
No one can do the things you do
Anything you want you got it
Anything you need you got it
Anything at all you got it
Baby
Anything you want
Anything you need
Anything at all
I'm glad to give my love to you
I know you feel the way I do
Anything you want you got it
Anything you need you got it
Anything at all you got it
Baby
Anything you want you got it
Anything you need you got it
Anything at all you got it
Baby
Anything at all
Baby you got it

Everyone is out of it
Everybody here has lost control
Traveled eyes and dirty minds
Take the kids outside and lock the door


I'm like the man on the flying trapeze
I feel so close to the stars
But on the ground is where my feet belong


Inside here is an answer
I'm punchdrunk but I'm free
Inside here is a spirit
Don't you see?
Don't you see?


Have no fear of anything
They'll turn you inside out and front to back
Don't drown your sorrows or hang your head
I'll come for you
I'll hold you 'till you crack


I'm like the man on the flying trapeze
I feel so close to the stars
But on the ground is where my feet belong


Inside here is the answer
I'm punchdrunk but I'm free
Inside here is a spirit
Don't you see?
Don't you see?


You and me
We're worlds apart
And far from home
But in this life
We're on our own
A one man show


Inside here is an answer
I'm punchdrunk but I'm free
Inside here is a spirit
Don't you see?
Don't you see?

I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Maybe I've been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
love is not a victory march
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
Remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Its not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The water’s higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire

[Verse 1:]
Whenever you go away from me
Go out with your friends I see that there's something in your eyes
And it looks just like a lie
Didn't I give you what you want?
Didn't I give it all to you?
Why is everything you do a little bit untrue?

[Bridge:]
And everytime
You act wrong
I go away from you just a little more

[Chorus:]
Every little thing I take from you
Every little thing you say or do
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
It's there you know it's true
Every little thing I feel inside
I don't wanna talk about my own pride
Adds another stone to the wall I'm building
And you should know it's true

[Verse 2:]
You can do just what you like
As long as you know deep inside
That I'm the only one for you
Don't you act just like you do 
Didn't I make you feel so good?
Didn't I treat you like I should?
So why is everything I know that the way you act's not true?

[Intro:]
Come on, you say you love me
I make you believe that it's love you receive
Like a thief
I just take what I need
And when we're going tonight

[Verse 1:]
Just an ordinary evening
I hear voices from the ceiling
And I really was believing
It was my mind playing tricks on me

Went upstairs just for receiving
Something told me you were leaving
So I looked out of my window
Just to see you there coming straight back to me

[Chorus:]
Do it, baby, do it
On the beach
Do it, baby, do it
Down the street
Do it, baby, do it
You and me
We're gonna do what they call the French kissing

Give it, baby, give it
In the car
Take it, baby, take it
Wherever you are
Give it, baby, give it
Go too far
We're gonna do what they call the French kissing

[Verse 2:]
All the people try to reach us
All the preachers try to teach us
They will never find the features
That make our love live eternally

You and me we live forever
Breakin' rules but stay together
So I miss your kiss and tell you this

[Chorus]

[Rap:]
Romeo, lover, got up and kissed her
His Juliet girlfriend started to whisper:
"According to Ceasar and to Cleopatra
I say the top of the pop is French kissing

Live Eve and Adam, seduction led 'em
And when they went to get down
They found their way to heaven
Do you want me to stop? (no)
We're gonna do the French kissing

Oh baby when the night
Falls on you and I
I wanna be with you and share each breath you're breathing
And I want your heart
Want it pressed so close to mine
I wanna lose myself forever in this feeling


I can't wait to feel that heaven in your arms
So tell me how to get, get to your heart


I wanna touch you there
I wanna touch your heart
I wanna make you love me
I wanna be the one to touch you everywhere
So deep inside your soul
I wanna make you feel a love 
So real so deep so true
Your heart your soul and everywhere
I wanna touch you there, I wanna kiss you there
I wanna touch you there

Oh baby want your eyes
Want them looking into mine
I wanna see the things that they will be revealing
and I want your lips
Wanna hear them say my name at night
I wanna be in each exiting dream you're dreaming

I can't wait to taste your kisses in the dark
And I can't wait to get, get in your heart

Wanna hold you in my arms tonight
Lie beside you while you sleep
Fill your world with love so strong
A love that goes so deep
I wanna touch you
In your heart

[Chorus:]
If you were my man, I could be your fantasy
And if you were my man, I'd give you sweet ecstasy
Yes if you were my man, what I'd do
If you were my man, if you were my man

[Verse 1:]
Boy I see you lookin' at my body
With that look in your eyes
And even though you're standing with your girl
You've got me on your mind

[B-section:]
If we spent one night, boy I'd love to touch your heaven
And do you right, just sit back
Enjoy the ride
Baby close your eyes, there's so many things that I want to do
Baby with you, oooh baby baby

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
I'm not into stealin' other lovers
But we both know this game
And lookin' at the way you want me baby
I know you feel the same oooh baby

Just a little bit more love,
Just a little bit more passion,
This is how it should begin,
Skin on skin

If you leave me now
Telling me you faint somehow
Better think it all over
Just as long as love’s around
Here’s a true romance
Be aware, and take your chance
Tomorrow I’m gonna leave you
But I am here for you tonight

Every single day I want you to know my love is true
So baby let me show you what to do

Just a little bit more love
Just a little bit more passion
This is how it should begin
Skin on skin
Just a little getting close
Just a little more affection
Cause I don’t think it’s a sin,
Skin on skin

Don’t you know that this game is to play
Just as long as its time
Can’t you see that my heart’s gotta know 
when you’re gonna be mine
just a little more love
just a little more love

so you better get it on
what is here will soon be gone
when the leaves are falling
then maybe we could fall apart
and there may come a time when you will forget
my love is true
so baby let me show you what to do

just a little bit more love
just a little bit more passion
this is how it should begin
skin on skin
just a little getting close
just a little more affection
cause I don’t think it’s a sin
skin on skin

don’t you know that this game is to play 
just as long as its time
can’t you see that my heart’s gotta know 
when you’re gonna be mine

just a little bit more love
just a little bit more passion
this is how it should begin
skin on skin
just a little getting close
just a little more affection
cause I don’t think it’s a sin
skin on skin

Don’t you know that this game is to play 
Don’t you know, don’t you know that it’s time
Can’t you see that my heart’s gotta know 
when you’re gonna be mine
Just a little more love
Just a little more love
Just a little more love
A little more, a little more love

Just a little bit more love,
Just a little bit more passion
Hmmm
Skin on skin…

(When I first saw you, I saw love. 
And the first time you touched me, I felt love. 
And after
all this time, you're still the one I love.) 
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come my baby
We mighta took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday 

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong 

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night 

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin' 

They said, "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holding on
We're still together still going strong 

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night 

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(You're still the one)
You're still the one that I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss good night 

  Hey, hey hey hey, ohh 
Won't you come see about me 
I'll be alone dancing 
You know it baby 

Tell me your troubles and doubts 
Giving me everthing 
Inside and out 

Loves strange 
so real in the dark 
think of the tender things 
that we were working on 

Slow change 
may pull us apart 
wanta get back 
into your heart baby 

Don't you forget about me 
don't don't don't don't 
Don't you forget about me 

Will you stand above me 
Look my way 
or never love me 
Rain keeps falling 
Rain keeps falling 
Down down down 

Would you recognize me 
Call my name 
or walk on by 
Rain keeps falling 
Rain keeps falling 
down down down 

hey hey hey hey, oh 

Don't you try to pretend 
Its my view we'll win in the end 
I won't harm you 
or touch your defenses 
Vanity, insecurity 

Don't you forget about me 
I'll be alone 
dancing, you know it baby 

Going to take you apart

  I was listening to this conversation
          Noticing my daydream stimulated me more
          I was crumbling with anticipation
          You better send me home before I tumble down to the floor
          
          You're so beautiful but oh so boring
          I'm wondering what am I doing here
          So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
          If anyone out there really cares
          About the curlers in your hair
          My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown now ?
          
          Something's glistening in my imagination
          Motivating something close to breaking the law
          Wait a mo before you take me down to the station
          I've never known a one who'd make me suicidal before
          
          She was so beautiful but oh so boring
          I'm wondering what was I doing there
          So beautiful but oh so boring, I'm wondering
          If anyone out there really cares
          About the colour of your hair
          My little golden baby, where have all your birds flown now ? 

What else should I be 
All apologies 
What else should I say 
Everyone is gay 

What else should I write 
I don't have the right 
What else should I be 
All apologies 

In the sun 
In the sun I feel as one 
In the sun 
In the sun 
I'm married 
Buried 
Buried 

I wish I was like you 
Easily amused 
Find my nest of salt 
Everything's my fault 
I'll take all the blame 
Aqua sea-foam shame 
Sunburn with freezer-burn 
Choking on the ashes of her enemy 

In the sun 
In the sun I feel as one 
In the sun 
In the sun 
I'm married 
Buried 
Buried

Margareth Thatcher on TV 
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing 
It seems strange that she should be offended 
The same orders are given by her 

I've said this before now 
You said I was childish and you'll say it now 
"Remember what I told you 
If they hated me they will hate you" 

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses 
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds 
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving 
I don't want him to be aware that there's 
Any such thing as grieving 

Young mother down at Smithfield 
5 am, looking for food for her kids 
In her arms she holds three cold babies 
And the first word that they learned was "please" 

These are dangerous days 
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave 
"Remember what I told you 
If you were of the world they would love you" 

England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses 
It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds 
And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving 
I don't want him to be aware that there's 
Any such thing as grieving.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change 
Courage to change the things I can 
And the wisdom to know the difference 

I am not like I was before 
I thought that nothing would change me 
I was not listening anymore 
Still you continued to affect me 

I was not thinking anymore 
Although I said I still was 
I'd said "I don't want anymore" 
Because of bad experience 

But now I feel so different 
I feel so different 
I feel so different 

I have not seen freedom before 
And I did not expect to 
Don't let me forget now I'm here 
Help me to help you to behold you 

I started off with many friends 
And we spent a long time talking 
I thought they meant every word they said 
But like everyone else they were stalling 

And now they seem so different 
They seem so different 
They seem so different 

I should have hatred for you 
But I do not have any 
And I have always loved you 
Oh you have taught me plenty 

The whole time I'd never seen 
All you had spread before me 
The whole time I'd never seen 
All I'd need was inside me 

Now I feel so different 
I feel so different 
I feel so different 

I feel so different 
I feel so different

They ask me how I feel 
And if my love is real 
And how I know I'll make it through. 
And they, they look at me and frown, 
They'd like to drive me from this town, 
They don't want me around 
'Cause I believe in you. 

They show me to the door, 
They say don't come back no more 
'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to, 
And I walk out on my own 
A thousand miles from home 
But I don't feel alone 
'Cause I believe in you. 

I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter, 
I believe in you even though we be apart. 
I believe in you even on the morning after. 
Oh, when the dawn is nearing 
Oh, when the night is disappearing 
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart. 

Don't let me drift too far, 
Keep me where you are 
Where I will always be renewed. 
And that which you've given me today 
Is worth more than I could pay 
And no matter what they say 
I believe in you. 

I believe in you when winter turn to summer, 
I believe in you when white turn to black, 
I believe in you even though I be outnumbered. 
Oh, though the earth may shake me 
Oh, though my friends forsake me 
Oh, even that couldn't make me go back. 

Don't let me change my heart, 
Keep me set apart 
From all the plans they do pursue. 
And I, I don't mind the pain 
Don't mind the driving rain 
I know I will sustain 
'Cause I believe in you

I want your hands on me
What I want, give me
You know I wanna please you 
What I wanna do to you 

You don't waste no time, do you?
You know I'm looking through you 
Why you wanna tease me 
I want you to come and please me

You're jealous 
You just can't stand to see me get along without you 
Like I do, you told me to 
Now you're jealous 
You don't know how hard it was to be alone without you 
And wanting you, like I do 
I would have stayed if you'd wanted 
But you said I treat you so badly 
I can't be forgiven 
You know I have done anything 
To make it through with you 
But I don't deserve to be lonely 
Just cuz you say I do 
You're jealous 
You don't know how hard it is to be a woman in love with you 
When you're so cruel, and so jealous 
You don't think about anybody's feelings but your own 
Are you coming home? 
I would have stayed if you'd wanted 
Would have been willing 
But you said I treat you so badly 
I can't be forgiven 
You know I would have done anything 
To make it through with you 
But I don't deserve to be lonely 
Just cuz you say I do 
So if you're gonna go you've gotta go and if you're stayin stay 
Cuz I can't take the pain you keep leavin when you go away 
If you're gonna go you've gotta go and if you're stayin stay 
Cuz I can't take the pain you keep leavin when you go away 
I don't deserve to be lonely 
I don't deserve to cry 
I don't deserve to be lonely

On Raglan Road on an Autumn day 
I saw her first and knew, 
that her dark hair would weave a snare 
that I might one day rue. 
I saw the danger yet I walked 
along the en chanted way. 
And I said, "Let grief be a fallen leaf 
at the dawning of the day." 

On Grafton Street in November, 
we tripped lightly along the ledge 
of a deep ravine where can be seen 
the worth of passions pledge. 
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts 
and I not making hay. 
Oh, I loved too much by such, by such 
is happiness blown away. 

I gave her gifts of the mind, 
I gave her the secret sign that's known 
to the artists who have known the true 
gods of sound and stone. 
And word and tint I did not stint 
for I gave her poems to say. 
With her own name there and her dark hair, 
like clouds over fields of May. 

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet 
I see her walking now, 
away from me so hurriedly. 
My reason must allow, 
that I had ruled, not as I should. 
A creature made of clay. 
When the angel woos the clay, 
he'll lose his wings at the dawn of day

It seems like years since you held the baby 
While I wrecked the bedroom 
You said it was dangerous after Sunday 
And I knew you loved me 
He thinks I just became famous 
And that's what messed me up 
But he's wrong 
How could I possibly know what I want 
When I was only twenty-one? 
And there's millions of people 
To offer advice and say how I should be 
But they're twisted 
And they will never be any influence on me 
But you will always be 
You will always be 

If I treated you mean 
I really didn't mean to 
But you know how it is 
And how a pregnancy can change you 

I see plenty of clothes that I like 
But I won't go anywhere nice for a while 
All I want to do is just sit here 
And write it all down and rest for a while 
I can't bear to be in another city 
One where you are not 
I would return to nothing without you 
If I'm your girlfriend or not 

Maybe I was mean 
But I really don't think so 
You asked if I'm scared 
And I said so 

Everyone can see what's going on 
They laugh `cause they know they're untouchable 
Not because what I said was wrong 
Whatever it may bring 
I will live by my own policies 
I will sleep with a clear conscience 
I will sleep in peace 

Maybe it sounds mean 
But I really don't think so 
You asked for the truth and I told you 

Through their own words 
They will be exposed 
They've got a severe case of 
The emperor's new clothes 
The emperor's new clothes 
The emperor's new clothes 
The emperor's new clothes

Each of these 
My three babies 
I will carry with me 
For myself 
I ask no one else will be 
Mother to these three 
And of course 
I'm like a wild horse 
But there's no other way I could be 
Water and feed 
Are not tools that I need 
For the thing that I've chosen to be 

In my soul 
My blood and my bones 
I have wrapped your cold bodies around me 
The face on you 
The smell of you 
Will always be with me 

Each of these 
My three babies 
I was not willing to leave 
Though I tried 
I blasphemed and denied 
I know they will be returned to me 
Each of these 
My babies 
Have brought you closer to me 
No longer mad like a horse 
I'm still wild but not lost 
From the thing that I've chosen to be 

And it's `cause you've thrilled me 
Silenced me 
Stilled me 
Proved things I never believed 
The face on you 
The smell of you 
Will always be with me 

Each of these 
My three babies 
I will carry with me 
For myself 
I ask no one else will be 
Mother to these three

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

CHORUS:
Hey now you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey now you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You¹re bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The waters getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire how about yours
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

CHORUS

Somebody once asked could you spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change"

Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Paint the town take a bow 
Thank every body you're gonna do it again 
You are the few the proud 
You are the antibody mind soul and Zen 
And the world's a stage 
And the world's a faze and the end is near 
So push rewind just in time 
Thank anybody you're gonna do it again 
The way that you walk 
It's just the way that you talk like it ain't no thing 
And every single day is just a fling 
Then the morning comes 
Take your knocks shake them off 
Duck everybody you're gonna take them again 
You are your foe, your friend 
You are the paparazzi 
You are the tragedian 
And the world's a craze 
And the world's a faze and the end is near 
So push rewind just in time 
Thank anybody you're gonna do it again 
Chorus 
And when it comes it moves so slow 
Kind of like it's saying "I told you so" 
Looking back before she goes 
Tomorrow's gonna hurt 
And the world's a stage 
And the world's a faze and the end is near 
So push rewind just in time 
Thank anybody 
Chorus 

She takes the blame, takes the pain but the world smiles
'Cos outside is just a taxi ride to drive away
So she packs her bag, calls a cab and the world smiles
And inside well she feels all right and turns to say:

"Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
You'll have to find another no one to take the shit like I have
Well I guess this is the end, I guess this is the end."

She feels the sun, phones her mum and the world smiles
'Cos outside in the morning light it's another day
So she packs her bag, smokes a fag and the world smiles
'Cos inside well she feels all right, and turns to say:

"Yes it's the end, the final showdown
Yes it's the end of our small love
You'll have to find another no one who'll take the shit like I have
Well I guess this is the end, I guess this is the end...
Oh well..."

Tis the evening of the day
See the daylight turned away
Then I'm looking up at you
See that everything that's true
I'm a thousand miles away
On another sunny day

As I'm looking at the view
All I'm thinking of is you
(if) she's not on that three fifteen
Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means
(if) she's not on that three fifteen
Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means

Is this the parting of the ways
Summer light and daisy chains
As I'm looking up at you
See that everything that's true
On the mountains, on the plains
Railway lines and fierce....

As I'm looking at the view
All I'm thinking of is you
(if) she's not on that three fifteen
Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means
(if) she's not on that three fifteen
Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means

Tis the evening of the day
See the daylight turned away
As I'm looking at the view
Feel my heart is growing oh-so
(if) she's not on that three fifteen
Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means
(if) she's not on that three fifteen
Then I'm gonna know what sorrow means

He's so stoned
Doesn't really know what he's on about
Maybe he should go and lay down
He's steamed/stoned/pissed
Doesn't really know what he's on about
Maybe he should go and lay down

(Run away!)
*Fireworks*
(She'll be over here in a minute)
(I'm going before she comes over)

Broke on a summer night
Cracked in a room
Planet is over
And I can see it all
I can see it all, yeah

Was the funniest thing that I saw
All these creatures were climbing the walls
While the synergy flows through my brains
That is hard

Venus is growing
Immune to the laze
And in the shade of morphine
I forget it all
Just forget it all, yeah

Was the funniest thing that I saw
All these creatures were climbing the walls
And while the synergy flows through my brains
That is hard

Oh, was the funniest thing that I saw
All these creatures were climbing the walls
And while the synergy flows through my brains
Oh, here she goes

It's what I saw
That is hard
Darling that is hard

Well we're... ruin of fables
As we drink ourselves right under the tables
Well you need an end to yesterday's papers
and tell us that they love us and hate us
...
Cos they're gonna kill us sooner or later
Yeah we really ran and ruined the fables
...climbing up the tower of ...

la-la, la-la, la-la, gotta get inside feeling
la-la, la-la, la-la, gotta get inside feeling

Well they meet in the ruin of fables
They see inside ourselves and what we are make of
Come along and stick on a label
We do the dance of the mashed potato
...
Cos they're superfragilistically-anus
...
... city of angels

la-la, la-la, la-la, gotta get inside feeling
la-la, la-la, la-la, gotta get inside feeling

la-la, la-la, la-la, gotta get inside feeling
la-la, la-la, la-la, gotta get inside feeling

Face, such a beautiful face
But time waits for no one
So why don't we get it on, yeah

Love, I see it in lies
It shines like the winter sun
So why don't we get it on

Waste, such a terrible waste
Cos time waits for no one
So why don't we get it on, get it on

Ride it on out like a bird in the sky ways
Ride it on out like you were a bird
Fly it all out like an eagle in a sunbeam
Ride it on out like you were a bird

Wear a tall hat like a druid in the old days
Wear a tall hat and a tattooed gown
Ride a white swan like the people of the Beltane
Wear your hair long, babe, you can`t go wrong

Catch a bright star and place it on your fore-head
say a few spells and baby there you go
Take a black cat
sit it on your shoulder
and in the morning you`ll know all you know

da-da-di-di-da
da-da-di-di-da

I guess now it's time for me to give up 
I feel it's time 
Got a picture of you beside me 
Got you're lipstick mark still on your coffee cup 
Got a fist of pure emotion 
Got a head of shattered dreams 
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it all behind now 

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it 
I just want you back for good 
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it 
You'll be right and understood 

Unaware but underlined I figured out this story 
It wasn't good 
But in the corner of my mind I celebrated glory 
But that was not to be 
In the twist of separation you excelled at being free 
Can't you find a little room inside for me 

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it 
I just want you back for good 
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it 
You'll be right and understood 

And we'll be together, this time is forever 
We'll be fighting and forever we will be 
So complete in our love 
We will never be uncovered again 

Whatever I said, whatever I did I didn't mean it 
I just want you back for good 
Whenever I'm wrong just tell me the song and I'll sing it 
You'll be right and understood 

I kind of keep asking myself little questions 
Like where do I go from here 
I seem to keep loosing track of time and how long it's been 
Since I last had you near 

Been a painful road to a door that's closed 
Been a gamble that I knew I couldn't win 
Been a lonely conversation to this photograph of you 
In the mirror there's a sing I must give in 

So I'm not holding back the tears anymore 
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion 
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore 
Yesterday's my memory reminding me of all the time 
I depended on you 

I used to enjoy spending my time on my own here 
Watching the jaded people pass 
Now here I am sharing their pain and their lonely tears 
And walking a road of broken glass 

It's a constant fight to get through each day and night 
It's a war between the present and the past 
And the face that's in your mind every time you close your eyes 
What's the reason, what's the answer, how long will this last 

So I'm not holding back the tears anymore 
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion 
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore 
Yesterday's my memory reminding me of all the time 

Been a long time since I heard your last goobdye 
Still I hear it clearly every day and night 
What's the point in love when you have to give it up 
Yet still you need it and it's nowhere you can find 

So I'm not holding back the tears anymore 
tryin' escape the heartache, tryin' escape emotion 
No I'm not holding back the tears anymore 
Yesterday's my memory reminding me of all the time 
I depended on you 

One day I'll have to face the truth
I will
I know I'll find it hard to wake up
And say these words to you

So did the days drag on for you
Was I gone for too long
There's something changing in me
I've got to show it
Got to show you

Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
It's true, yes I do

In every place I'll face a world
Of strangers
We'll talk and laugh about the good times
We had together

So did the days drag on for you
Was I gone for too long
There's something changing in me
I've got to show it
Got to show you

Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around

Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
It's true, yes I do

There are times when I see you
There are times when I'm mad
When I wake you disappear
That's what I always find so hard

Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around

Cause day after day without you
I find that there's no one to turn to
All this madness that I've found
I'm so thankful when you're around
It's true, yes I do

It's true, yes I do

I doesn't feel right
The lights are too bright
I'm feeling uptight in my sensual world
I need to be you
I need to breathe too
I need to see through life
With these sensitive words

I could blame it on you
I could blame it on my instincts
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer

No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

No air around me
I need to feel free
I'm private property
In my sensual world
No indecisions
I have a vision
There's no collision there
With these sensitive words

I could blame it on you
I could blame it on my instincts
I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer

No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

No trouble in my face
There's not one anxious voice
You know I can't listen
I can't listen
You say that you are everything
Do you taste good
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

All from too much choice yeh yeh

I could blame it on the train to the plane
The boat to the shore
So tell me what's the answer

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
I had to take some time
Take some time

You know I'm needing you for so much pleasure
I'm always wanting you to take me there
I need to be the one to tell you that you're on the right road
And how some time alone is only fair

You know I'm renowned
And feel it's a lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

I wish you'd known me when I was much younger
As i closed my eyes upon the world
But now an open mind which seems much stronger
A perfect doubting of your every word

You know I'm renowned
And feel it's a lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before i went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon

You know I'm renowned
For the lonely time I've had
But it never felt that bad

I tried to tell you that on monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

I tried to tell you that on Monday
The day before I went away
I was always there when you were coming down
You never took the time
Took the time

Never took the time
Never took the time
Never took the time
To stop me
I always wanted you to stop me
You never took the time

I fought the law and the law won [x2]
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won [x2]

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I fought the law and the law won [x7]
I fought the law and the law won

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared - and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

CHORUS
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
London is drowning - I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out - and draw another breath
London calling - and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no hides
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS x2
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
London is drowning - I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?

I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm

This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel

Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot
They beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go home

This is England
What we're supposed to die for
This is England
And we're never gonna cry no more

Black shadow of the Vincent
Falls on a Triumph line
I got my motorcycle jacket
But I'm walking all the time
South Atlantic wind blows
Ice from a dying creed
I see no glory
When will we be free

This is England
We can chain you to the rail
This is England
We can kill you in a jail

The British boots go kick them
Got 'em in the head
Police ain't watchin'
The newspapers been read
Who cares to protest
A (???) in the eye like a flare
Out came the batons and
The British warned themselves

This is England
The land of illegal dances
This is England
Land of a thousand stances
This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel
This is England
This is England

                      On a dark desert highway 
                      Cool wind in my hair 
                      Warm smell of colitas 
                      Rising up through the air 
                      Up ahead in the distance 
                      I saw a shimmering light 
                      My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim 
                      I had to stop for the night 
                      There she stood in the doorway 
                      I heard the mission bell 
                      And I was thinking to myself 
                      This could be Heaven or this could be Hell 
                      Then she lit up a candle 
                      And she showed me the way 
                      There were voices down the corridor 
                      I thought I heard them say 

                    Welcome to the Hotel California 
                      Such a lovely place 
                      Such a lovely place (background) 
                      Such a lovely face 
                      Plenty of room at the Hotel California 
                      Any time of year 
                      Any time of year (background) 
                      You can find it here 
                      You can find it here 

                      Her mind is Tiffany twisted 
                      She's got the Mercedes bends 
                      She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys 
                      That she calls friends 
                      How they dance in the courtyard 
                      Sweet summer sweat 
                      Some dance to remember 
                      Some dance to forget 
                      So I called up the Captain 
                      Please bring me my wine 
                      He said 
                      We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 
                      And still those voices are calling from far away 
                      Wake you up in the middle of the night 
                      Just to hear them say 

                    Welcome to the Hotel California 
                      Such a lovely Place 
                      Such a lovely Place (background) 
                      Such a lovely face 
                      They're livin' it up at the Hotel California 
                      What a nice surprise 
                      What a nice surprise (background) 
                      Bring your alibies 

                    Mirrors on the ceiling 
                      Pink champagne on ice 
                      And she said 
                      We are all just prisoners here 
                      Of our own device 
                      And in the master's chambers 
                      They gathered for the feast 
                      They stab it with their steely knives 
                      But they just can't kill the beast 
                      Last thing I remember 
                      I was running for the door 
                      I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 
                      
                      Relax said the nightman 
                      We are programed to receive 
                      You can check out any time you like 
                      But you can never leave 

Look at us baby, up all night 
Tearing our love apart 
Aren't we the same two people who live 
through years in the dark? 
Ahh... 
Every time I try to walk away 
Something makes me turn around and stay 
And I can't tell you why 

When we get crazy, 
it just ain't to right, 
(try to keep you head, little girl) 
Girl, I get lonely, too 
You don't have to worry 
Just hold on tight 
(don't get caught in your little world) 
'Cause I love you 
Nothing's wrong as far as I can see 
We make it harder than it has to be 
and I can't tell you why 

no, baby, I can't tell you why 
I can't tell you why 
No, no, baby, I can't tell you why 
I can't tell you why 
I can't tell you why 

It's another tequila sunrise 
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goobye 
He was just a hired hand 
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try 
The days go by 
 
Ev'ry night when the sun goes down 
Just another lonely boy in town 
And she's out runnin' 'round 
 
She wasn't just another woman 
And I couldn't keep from comin' on 
It's been so long 
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when 
It comes down to dealin' friends 
It never ends 
 
Take another shot of courage 
Wonder why the right words never come 
You just get numb 
It's another tequila sunrise,this old world 
Still looks the same, 
Another frame, mm... 

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you decided to show me the same
No sweeping exits or off stage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday
Wild horses, couldn't drag me away
Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday

Girl, you really got me goin' 
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'  
yeah, you really got me now  
You got me so I can't sleep at night  
Yeah, you really got me now  
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now  
Oh yeah, you really got me now  
You got me so I can't sleep at night  
You really got me, you really got me, you really got me  
See, don't ever set me free 
I always wanna be by your side 
Girl, you really got me now 
You got me so I can't sleep at night 
Yeah, you really got me now 
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now 
Oh yeah, you really got me now 
You got me so I can't sleep at night 
You really got me, you really got me, you really got me 
Oh, no... 
See, don't ever set me free 
I always wanna be by your side 
Girl, you really got me now 
You got me so I can't sleep at night 
Yeah, you really got me now 
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin', now 
Oh yeah, you really got me now 
You got me so I can't sleep at night 
You really got me, you really got me, you really got me

Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in the morning dew, my honey
I can't walk you out in the morning dew at all

I thought I heard a young girl cry, mama
I thought I heard a young girl cry today
You didn't hear no young girl cry, baby
Oh you didn't hear no young girl cry at all

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey
Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in the morning dew now, baby
I can't walk you out in the morning dew at all

I thought I heard a young man cry, mama
I thought I heard a young man cry today
Oh you didn't hear no young man cry, baby
Oh you didn't hear no young man cry at all

Oh, there's no more morning dew
No there's no more morning dew
What they were saying all these years is true
Cause there's no more morning dew

No there's no more morning dew
No there's no more morning dew
What they were saying all these years is true
No there's no more morning dew

Why must we wait until tonight
Tell me why 
Why must we wait until tonight
 
You're gonna take a little time 
Gonna drink me like a fine wine
Write the book of love line by line
But I wanna play with you baby 
Right now
Go all the way with you baby 
And show you how 
'Cos my body just can't say no
And my fingers just won't let go
 
Tell me why
Why must we wait until tonight 
Tell me why
Why when I've waited all my life
 
You're touching me, I'm touching you 
What should I do now? 
Tell me why
Why must we wait till tonight
 
You like to take it real slow 
Show me every little move you know 
Take a little love and watch it grow 
But I wanna lay with you darling
Right now
Make love all day with you baby
And show you how 
Take my body don't take my time 
Take your lips and make them mine

Tell me why
Why must we wait until tonight
Tell me why
Why when I've waited all my life
You're touching me, I'm touching you
What should I do now? 

Tell me why 
Why must we wait till tonight

Time
Has coloured in
The black and white
Of your sin
So burn
Burn the flag
Rip it up
Bury the Rags
*
But I will find you still 
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair
*
So live
Live long
See her face
In everyone
And turn
Turn the page
Start again
Change your name
*
But I will find you still 
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair
You cut her hair
You cut her hair

I went walking down the Boulevard 
Past the skateboards and the beggars 
I was out looking in the windows 
Just out walking, letting my mind roam 
If she hung around too much I might take her for granted 
But when I was away, she seemed an angel 
The only one who really cared about me 
The only one without an angle 
For so long I've been lonely 
Now I'm too weak to fight 

I've been waiting for tonight 
I've been waiting for tonight 

(Good night my love, sleep tight my love) 

Yes and I had a little time to kill 
As I crossed the parking lot 
And I was feeling lucky to have a place to go 
Yeah my nerves were feeling shot 
For so long I've been weary 
There was no end in sight 

I've been waiting for tonight 
I've been waiting for tonight 

(Good night my love, sleep tight my love) 

Oh I've been waiting 'round 
For a night like this 
Yeah I felt it coming down 
Since her first kiss 

(Good night my love) 

Yeah and I'm wrestling with my overcoat 
Yeah I'm fighting with my thoughts 
I'm gonna trust my intuition 
I'm gonna hope I don't get lost 
For some time I've been lonely 
I've been too weak to fight 
I've been waiting for tonight 
I've been waiting for tonight 

(Good night my love, sleep tight my love) 

It was a theme she had 
On a scheme he had 
Told in a foreign land 

To take life on earth 
To the second birth 
And the man was in command   

It was a flight on the wings 
Of a young girls dreams 
That flew too far away 

Don't push too far 
Your dreams are china in your hand 
Don't wish too hard 
Because they may come true 
And you can't help them 
You don't know what you might 
Have set upon yourself
 
China in your hand   

Come from greed 
Never born of the seed 
Took life from a barren land 
Oh eyes wide 
Like a child in the form of man 
A prophecy for a fantasy
A castle in his mind

Don't push too far 
Your dreams are china in your hand 
Don't wish too hard 
Because they may come true 
And you can't help them 
You don't know what you might 
Have set upon yourself
 
China in your hand
In your hand, your hand

Don't push too far 
Your dreams are china in your hand 
Don't wish too hard 
Because they may come true 
And you can't help them 
You don't know what you might 
Have set upon yourself 
You shouldn't push too hard, no no
Don't push too far 
Your dreams are china in your hand 
Don't wish too hard 
Because they may come true 
And you can't help them 
You don't know what you might 
Have set upon yourself 

More than an ocean, 
 Keeps us apart. 
 I feel a tearing in half of my heart. 
 A walk on the water, 
 Is all that I need. 
 But miracles are not happening. 
  
 You're not even listening to me. 
 Leaving you ain't easy now, 
 But loving you's the harder part. 
 You never want me for myself, 
 And I've needed you right from the very start. 
 Oh, won't you stay and try to: 
  
 Give a little bit of heart and soul. 
 Give a little bit of love to grow. 
 Give a little bit of heart and soul, 
 And don't you make me beg for love. 
 Give a sign 'cos' I need to know. 
 Give a little bit of heart and soul. 
  
 Now listen to me. 
 I wish that I was wrong, 
 But you don't feel that way. 
 We drift apart with each passing day. 
 You never seem to notice any more. 
  
 Living in a fantasy, 
 There's never any room to breath. 
 Hoping every waking hour, 
 You'll turn around and say that we can stay. 
 Won't you even try to: 
  
 Give a little bit of heart and soul. 
 Give a little bit of love to grow. 
 Give a little bit of heart and soul, 
 And don't you make me beg for love. 
 Give a sign 'cos' I need to know. 
 Give a little bit of heart and soul. 
  
 Somehow I lost my way, 
 Looking to see something in your eyes. 
 But lover will never compromise. 
 There is the politics of life. 
  
 Give a little bit of heart and soul. 
 Give a little bit of love to grow. 
 Give a little bit of heart and soul, 
 And don't you make me beg for love. 
 Give a sign 'cos' I need to know. 
 Give a little bit of heart and soul 

I have a lover
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing

Shows me colours when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for the first time
I feel love

I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me

When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time
I feel love

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you
With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

My hands are tied
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give
And you give
And you give yourself away

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you

With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.) 

I have heard the echoes in the dark 
Dim and distant voices of the past 
And I've seen so far into the night 
And lingered in the land of no light. 

Far beyond the shrouded hours of dawn 
Through the mist of daybreak I was born 
but the day was clouded still by night 
Leaving me in the land of no light. 

Though I'd love to 
Say hello to you 
You might have to wait a while to say Goodbye 
For it must end as it began 
And then start again. 

The day of darkness comes to every man 
And lingers while he reaches out his band 
And he cannot know how it will end 
Till he finds out if he has a friend. 

a friend ... 
a friend ... 
a friend. 

There I was on a July morning looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.

I was looking for love in the strangest places.
There wasn't a stone that I left unturned.
I must have tried more than a thousand faces,
but not one was aware of the fire that burned
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.
In my heart,
in my mind,
in my soul.

There I was on a July morning - I was looking for love.
With the strength of a new day dawning and the beautiful sun.
At the sound of the first bird singing I was leaving for home.
With the storm and the night behind me and a road of my own.
With the day
came the resolution
I'll be looking for you.

In the magic garden 
Some were singing 
Some were dancing 
While the midnight moon 
Shone brightly overhead 

The stars so gaily glistened 
And the sphinx in silence listened to 
The magician tell of 
Lives that he had led 

Let the bells of freedom ring 
Songs of love to Friday's king 

Let's all go to 
The magician's birthday 
It's in a forest 
But not so far away 
Much to do 
And so much to say 
While we listened to 
The orchid orchestra play 

Happy Birthay to you ... 
Happy Birthday to magician 
Happy Birthday to you ... 

Then at the dead of midnight 
As we watched the dancing firelight 
The air grew cold 
And seemed to dull the flame 
The fire died 
The music faded 
Filled with fear of death we waited 
For now we knew 
Some evil was to blame 

I challenge you 
I challenge you all 
For all you own 
And all you know 
And I own the powers of darkness 
I will steal what is mine 

Surrender now or face my spite 
I grant you it may be Friday night 
But did you know this day 
Also numbers thirteen 

First I'll give you fire 
I turn your fire into a sleepy stream 
Yes, now I give you darkness 
From your horror I'll create a dream 

You cannot fight me 
For I have the sword of hate 
But one thing you can't see 
My answer is simply 
An impenetrable fortress 
Of love ... love ... love ... 

The fear went as quickly as it came 
The air was clear 
The fire burned again 
The flames leapt 
The organ played 
The swans sang 
To greet the day 
And then we knew that 
Love will find love will find love ...

White light, go on messing up my mind
Don't you know it's gonna make me go blind?
White heat, it tickles me down to my toes
Have mercy, white light, have it, goodness knows

White light, go on messing up my brain
White light, it's gonna drive me insane
White heat, it tickles me down to my toes
White light I said now, goodness knows, do it

I surely do love to watch that stuff shooting itself in
Watch that side, watch that side, don't you know, gonna be dead and bright
Yeah, foxy mama, watch her walking down the street
Come upside, your head's gonna make a dead end on your street

White light, move in me and drain my brain
White heat, it tickles me down to my toes
White light, I said now, goodness knows

White light is lighting up my eyes
Don't you know it fills me up with surprise?
White heat, tickle me down to my toes
White light, I tell you now, goodness knows

Oh, she surely do move, speed
Watch that speed freak, watch that speed freak,
everybody gonna make it every week
Sputter mutter, everbody's gonna kill their mother
Here she comes, here she comes, everybody get it, gonna make me run, do it
Higher

I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Then all at once I wake up
From something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane
I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread ....
"I think I love you!" 

This morning, I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself
And never talk about it
And did not go and shout it
When you walked into the room .....
"I think I love you!"

I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
That I've never felt this way

I don't know what I'm up against
I don't know what it's all about
I've go so much to think about
Hey!I think I love you!
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way

 Believe me
You really don't have to worry
I only want to make you happy
And if you say
Hey, go away, I will
But I think better still
I'd better stay around and love you
Do you think I have a case?
Let me ask you to your face
Do you think you love me?


I think I love you!
I think I love you!

I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!
I think I love you!

 Don't call me baby
When she is waiting in the car
It took so long to get this far
Don't call me baby

You said forever
And then you went and changed your plans
You said some day I'd understand
I wouldn't be so sure

I think she's pretty
And I think that you have done quite well
I still say you can never tell
I wouldn't be surprised

Don't call me baby
When she is sitting in the car
It took so ling to get this far
Don't call me baby

Don't call me baby
Don't call
Don't call me baby 

I heard this girl one day. 
She had these long, tight legs. 
She said, "I get it every night, 
and he calls me every day. 

He'll leave you black and blue. 
He'll rip you right in two, 
then wake up in the morning, 
and say "Who the hell are you?" 

And then she turns to me and says "We know you. 
Tell us some secrets, honey. We won't say a word." 

But I say nothing, I talk to no-one. 
I know what I believe. Don't need to wear it on my sleeve. 
I talk to no-one, I will say nothing. 
If we come and go alone, why do they need to know? 


The boy who's always mad. 
He's just alone and sad. 
He holds my hand so tightly. 
He says "Go away, I'm bad. 

I'll leave you black and blue 
I'll rip you right in two. 
But it is just because 
I do not know how to be true. 

That's why I sometimes stand alone at parties. 
That's why I drink, so I'll be who they think I am. 

But don't say nothing. Don't talk to no-one. 
I'm not what they believe, and if they find out they will leave. 
Don't talk to no-one, Just don't say nothing. 
If we come and go alone, why do they need to know? 
(Arcades) 

All those endless days of all those sci-fi slaves. 
The noise is just a drag until you say close your eyes, 
and listen... 
They're singing just for you 
It's swinging just for you 
It's screaming just for you 

(instumental break) 



I'll say nothing. 
I'll talk to no-one. 


There is a place somewhere 
Some times you'll find me there 
And If I am alone 
I will be sitting on the stairs. 

I'll be as good as new. 
One of the lucky few, 
who's laughing at the joke, and 
as I leave I laugh for you. 

But I say nothing, I talk to no-one. 
I know what I believe. Don't need to wear it on my sleeve. 
I talk to no-one, I will say nothing. 
If we come and go alone, then what's the point of carrying these arcades? 



I'll say nothing. 
I'll talk to no-one. 
I will say nothing. 
I'll talk to no-one, but you.
