The afternoon has gently passed me by The evening spreads its self against the sky Waiting for tomorrow, just another day God bid yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight The future is but a question mark Hangs above my head there in the dark Can't see for the brightness, its staring me blind God bid this yesterday goodbye Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Bring on the night I couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylight Couldn't stand another hour of daylightBack to Song List
Deathwish in the fading light Headlight pointing through the night Never thought I'd see the day Playing with my life this way Gotta keep my foot right down If I had wings I'd leave the ground Burning in the outside lane People think that I'm insane, insane The day I take a bend too fast Judgement that could be my last I'll be wiped right off the slate Don't wait up cos I'll be late, I'll be lateBack to Song List
Giant steps are what you take walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break walking on the moon We could walk forever, walking on the moon We could be together walking on, walking on the moon Walking back from your house, walking on the moon Walking back from your house, walking on the moon Feet, they hardly touch the ground walking on the moon My feet don't hardly make no sound walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way, and if it's a price I pay Some say tomorrow's another day You stay, I may as well play Giant steps are what you take walking on the moon I hope my legs don't break walking on the moon We could walk forever, walking on the moon We could be together walking on, walking on the moon Some may say I'm wishing my days away No way, and if it's a price I pay Some say tomorrow's another day You stay, I may as well play Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it upBack to Song List
The other ones are complete bullshit You want something corny, you got it There's a house on my street And it looks real neat I'm the chap who lives in it There's a tree on the sidewalk There's a car by the door I'll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes He will find me gone He'll look for a place to sit My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay Cut off my fingers in the door of my car How could I do it My wife is proud to tell me of her love affairs How could she do this to me My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day Throw down the morning papers and spill my tea I don't know what's wrong with me The cups and plates are in a conspiracy I'm covered in misery My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other day And it would be okay on any other dayBack to Song List
Bed's too big without you A cold wind blows right through that open door I can't sleep with your memory Dreaming dreams of what used to be When she left I was cold inside That look on my face was just pride No regrets, no love, no tears Living on my own was the least of my fears Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you Since that day when you'd gone Just had to carry on, yeah Get through day but late at night Love to my pillow but it didn't feel right Every day, just the same Old rules for the same old game All I gained was heartache All I made was one mistake Now the bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you Bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you The bed's too big without you, without you Bed's too big without you Cold wind blows right throughBack to Song List
I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat Have we got contact, you and me Have we got touchdown, can't we be I've got contacts in my book and in my eyes My good connection on the telephone never lies Have we got contact, you and me Have we got touchdown, can't we be I've got a list of the people I have known I'm never alone on the end of a phone Have we got contact, you and me Have we got touchdown, can't we be I've got a lump in my throat about the note you wrote I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat I'd come on over but I haven't got a raincoat Have we got touchdown, can't we be Have we got contact, you and me Have we got touchdown, can't we be Have we got contact, you and meBack to Song List
I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date I'm in a cold sweat, I panic and it makes me late I knew you never asked for this, I know My shots will always misfire My shots will always miss Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you I change my clothes ten times before I take you on a date Get the heebie-jeebies and my panic makes me late I break into a cold sweat reaching for the phone I let it ring twice before I chicken out and decide you're not at home Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you I never noticed the size of my feet Until I kicked you in the shins Will you ever forgive me For the shape I'm in, for the shape I'm in Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Wanna write you a sonnet but I don't know where to start I'm so used to laughing at the things in my heart Last of all I'm sorry cos you never asked for this I can see I'm not your type and my shot will always miss, always miss Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at you Does everyone stare the way I do - I only stare this way at youBack to Song List
No time for the complexities of conversation No time for smiles, no time for knowing Less time for intricacies of explanation Less time for caring, even less for showing And if I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees, I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all, no time - no time this time No time at all, no time at all - no time this time No time for a quick kiss at the railway station No time for a suitcase, sandwich and a morning paper Only time for time tables and transportation No time to think, no time to dare If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees, I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all - no time this time No time at all - no time this time If I could I'd slow the whole world down I'd bring it to it's knees, I'd stop it spinning round But as it is I'm climbing up an endless wall No time at all - no time this time No time at all - no time this time No time at all - no time this time No time at all - no time this time No time at all No time at all, all, allBack to Song List
