Rosslyn Road

She called me and said
I'll meet you at Molly Molone's
We walked by the river
Then over the bridge
To Rosslyn Road

With tears in her eyes
She said no one else needs to know
The look on her face was as cold as the night
On Rosslyn Road

She was so much younger then
And time was on her side
Summers never seemed to end
The sun would always shine
Now the winter's revealing everything
And there is nowhere left to hide

There's no time to pray
Just give me the money and go
I handed it to her and then she walked away
Down Rosslyn Road

Young ladies take heed
Be careful where you lay your coat
For you may lose someone you're never gonna meet
Down Rosslyn Road

Suffolk

When I saw you
Twas like I'd seen your face
Long before that day
When I saw you
Twas like a love that once lost
I'd found again

I knew my search was over
Then you were gone
And left me here
Alone in the garden
But I can see you standing there
When I saw you

When I kissed you
I felt the winter chill
Cold against your cheek
When I kissed you I felt our souls entwined
Soon to be released

And it will last forever
Though you have gone
And left me here
Alone in the garden
But I can feel you standing there
When I kissed you

Crazy Jane On God

That lover of a night
Came when he would,
Went in the dawning light
Whether I would or no;
Men come, men go;
All things remain in God.

Banners choke the sky;
Men-at-arms tread;
Armoured horses neigh
Where the great battle was
In the narrow pass:
All things remain in God.

Before their eyes a house
That from childhood stood
Uninhabited, ruinous,
Suddenly lit up
From door to top:
All things remain in God.

I had wild Jack for a lover;
Though like a road
That men pass over
My body makes no moan
But sings on:
All things remain in God

Lyrics by William Butler Yeats

Embrace The Mystery

Hear my prayer
And let it come unto thee
Lord help me to forgive
And embrace the mystery

Hear my prayer
And let it come unto thee
Lord help me to forgive
And embrace the mystery

Hope (D'chas)

Hope for Freedom
Hope for Peace
Hope it will come silently
If we're all under one banner
Then the day will surely come
And we'll find that in the end
You and I are one
We can travel to the furthest star
Fall in and out of Love
But we'll find that in the end
You and I are one

Sally In Our Alley

Of all the girls that are so smart
There 's none like pretty Sally;

She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.

Of all the ladies in the land
There's none so sweet as Sally;

She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.

Of all the days that are in the week
I dearly love but one day -

And that 's the day that comes between
A Saturday and Monday;

For then I'm dressed all in my best
To walk abroad with Sally;

She is the darling of my heart,
And she lives in our alley.

Lyrics by Henry Carey (1693-1743)

Dance With Me Now

Will you come dance with me under the stars
The future's uncertain and yesterday has gone
Just like the river that flows out to the sea
I'll always find you wherever you may be

We all have that gypsy side to our soul
That wanderlust gleam in our eye
But why wait for thundery crashes or flashes of light

Dance with me now to the sound of the fiddle
Dance with me now to the flute and the drum
The pipes are calling the harp and the whistle
Will you dance with me now while the night is still young

So don't think of me one of your
Fair weather friends
I'll never leave you
I'll be there at the end
Just like the river that flows out to the sea
My love will find you wherever you may be

We all have that gypsy side to our soul
That wanderlust gleam in our eye
But why wait for thundery crashes or flashes of light

Dance with me now to the sound of the fiddle
Dance with me now to the flute and the drum
The pipes are calling the harp and the whistle
Will you dance with me now while the night is still young

There'll Be No Good Without You

Pour away the seven seas
Pack up the stars and moon
Sweep away the wood
There'll be no good without you

Answer every single prayer
Make every wish come true
Even if I could
There'll be no good without you

Once in a dream
I saw you walking down a country lane
The only music was the sound of high winds
Blowing through the trees

Then there was emptiness
I never thought that it would be like this
If I could only tell you once again
How much you meant to me

So pour away the seven seas
Pack up the stars and moon
Sweep away the wood
There'll be no good without you

Then I Saw White Horses

I've looked for a heart that has never been broken
Seen every star in the sky
Searched for the gate that has never been opened
The other man's garden was greener than mine

I've lost everything that I thought I was winning
After the fire had burned
I found in the end it was just the beginning
I had to forget everything that I'd learned

Then I saw white horses out there on the ocean
Under a dark blue sky
The waves turned to laughter
And there was the answer all the time
This love is never gonna die

There's only one heart that can never be broken
Always a star in the sky
Behind every gate there's another man's garden
And ever the story goes round and around

Cause I've seen white horses out there on the ocean
Under a dark blue sky
The waves turned to laughter
And there was the answer all the time
This love is never gonna die

A Secret Game

Behind this curtain

A secret game is being played

Out in the high mystic blue

With words unspoken

The only love that will prevail

Out in the high mystic blue

Have I wasted my chance

To be with you at last

Under tropical stars

Behind this curtain

A secret game is being played

Out in the high mystic blue

Why am I so afraid

I won’t see you again

When this life’s tailor made

Have we done this before

If I walk by the shore

Will you whisper once more

Behind this curtain

A secret game is being played

Out in the high mystic blue

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Without Your Love

You can show me the way

Give me a sunny day

But what does it mean without your love

If I could travel far

If I could touch the stars

Where would I be without your love.

Whenever I get to feel down and out

I think about what you said and then I give up

If I could fly away

If I could sail today

Where would I go without your love

And if I ever wander away too far

You come a-looking for me with open arms

I could forget my home

Just like a rolling stone

But who would I be without your love

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Mystic Muse

The vase is broken

And the garden door is open

The roses perfume lingers in the air

And though it seems you’ve gone

And not a word was spoken

The silent mystic muse is everywhere

And I feel your love in everything

And I see your love in everything

Just like the beads upon a string

Sometimes I’m all at sea

And searching for direction

Don’t even know

What I’ve been looking for

Maybe the one I seek

Is not on the horizon

Like those white horses

Breaking on the shore

And I feel your love in everything

And I see your love in everything

Just like the beads upon a string

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Gillian Cooper

I knew a girl called Gillian Cooper

She had sunlight on her face

I remember spilling my heart out to her

She said don’t worry

It’ll be ok

No time to say goodbye

Too young to tell why

I was so messed up

I didn’t know a thing about love

And I didn’t know who to trust

I didn’t know a thing about love

Under the bridge

Flows so much water

The river should be crystal clear

But it still feels dark and colder

Every time the one you love disappears

So what lessons have I learned

Now this tide has turned

Don’t ask me to judge

I still don’t know a thing about love

And I don’t know who to trust

I still don’t know a thing about love

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

A Million Years

I feel the sunlight shining

Down upon my face

Spring is just a cold winter dream

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change this

In a million years

And when I’m lost and

There’s no light to be found

You will come and show me the way

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change this

In a million years

I look into the sky

And see the stars above

I look into your eyes

And all I see is love

And through the darkness

And the veil of tears

Gazing at the light of the moon

Nothing’s gonna change

Nothing’s gonna change this

In a million years

Cause all I see is you

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Everloving Arms

How could a man who sailed the seven seas

Go all that way and then come back to me

He’s given me rain when my river runs dry

Wind in my sails and the sun in the sky

Never fails

In your everloving arms

That’s where I wanna be

In your everloving arms

Now there’s no turning back for me

In your everloving arms

That’s where I wanna be

In your everloving arms

I hear them say any port in a storm

But when I get cold I know he’ll keep me warm

I see it in his smile feeling his love

Feeling so high but I feel that its all not enough

In your everloving arms

That’s where I wanna be

In your everloving arms

Now there’s no turning back for me

In your everloving arms

That’s where I wanna be

In your everloving arms

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Just One More Night

Lyingawake I hear her heartbeat

So far away yet so close to me

I hope that I don’t talk in my sleep of the Lady

Trapped in a room

The cigarette smoke

The burgundy brew

And the rain on my coat

Can’t hide the lingering perfume that go with the Lady

Lights in the street

Making crazy shadows on a piece of old chenille

And I’m so tired of making love to her

When we both know it’s not real.

Just one more night

Just one more pantomime

And I might have to say farewell

Just one more game

And I won’t be afraid

To tell her that there’s someone else

How long can I go on with this play

Night after night

Day after day

No hooks no ties that’s how much I owe to the Lady

Lights in the street

Making crazy shadows on a piece of old chenille

And I’m so tired of making love to her

When we both know it’s not real.

Just one more night

Just one more pantomime

And I might have to say farewell

Just one more game

And I won’t be afraid

To tell her that there’s someone else

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Brief Encounter

You come home late, and then you gaze into the fire

No change, except the look that’s in your eyes

You don’t have to speak; I know the feeling of love in vain

You’ve been far from me

But now you’re back home in my arms again

I never thought that brief encounter would last

I never dreamt our love would change but it has

Now I know that, to get a little closer to you

Change, it had to come

No more trying to make a broken dream come true

Lying about a secret rendezvous

You don’t have to speak; I know the feeling of love in vain

You’ve been far from me

But now you’re back home in my arms again.

I never thought that brief encounter would last

I never dreamt our love would change but it has

Now I know that, to get a little closer to you

Change, it had to come . . . . . . . . . .

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Waiting For A Friend

If I fell in a lake

Would you dive in or would you stand there and gape

If I drowned would you jump

Or would you let the water burst in my lungs

A stranger on the street

May be the only one on his knees

When you’re laying by the roadside waiting for a friend to come

Got my hopes, got my doubts

A gut reaction says I’ve got to find out

Who’s against, who to trust

You never know I might get killed in the rush but

A stranger on the street

May be the only one on his knees

When you’re laying by the roadside waiting for a friend to come

You laugh you think it’s a joke

Just stand there grinning

But will you be there at the post

When I ain’t winning?

Black or white, Good or bad

How many times have I done this or done that?

Every life, every one

If I knew them I’d probably take out a gun but

It’s Mother Nature’s law

To get you coming back for more

Instead of laying by the roadside

Waiting for a friend to come.

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Amy

This little tune was always meant for you.

Though it was written many many years ago

Amy. Amy

Hypnotized by your tiny face

Angels wait for the moment you drift away

Amy my love

One little girl I know

Is getting tired

One little girl I know is very sleepy now

Amy. Amy

Wrapped in cotton so peacefully

Smiling Sweetly

I wonder what you dream

Amy my love

Lyrics by Billy Nicholls

Would You Believe

Ba bababa ba ba ba bababa ba ba bababa bababa
baba baba ba baba ba baba ba baba ba
I wouldn't change my mind now
I wouldn't waste my time now
I should erase my mind of you

Would you believe
I loved you yesterday
I had the words to say
My speech was all planned out

Would you believe
I had so much to say
I loved you every way
My mind was all made up

I wouldn't change my mind now
I wouldn't waste my time now
I should erase my mind of you

Would you believe
I loved you more each day
I loved you more that way
But now it just can't last

Would you believe
I had so much to say
I loved you every way
But now it's just the past

doo di lee x 5

Would you believe
I loved you more each day
I loved you more that way
But now it just can't last

Would you believe
I had so much to say
I loved you every way
But now it's just the past

London Social Degree

Yes I went to school when I was a youngster
But you can keep you maths and GCE's
I have found a test that makes me think better
It's the London social degree
If you pass it and you see a new meaning girl
You won't have to go to church to believe
You will see the love that makes you think better
It's the London social degree

Spreading love around the world
To every one who wants to feel love baby
Don't fight baby
Tell your mum and dad and every one
That's thinking bad to stop now baby
Love now baby

If you pass it and you see a new meaning girl
You won't have to got to church to believe
You will see the love that makes you think better

Don't fight baby
Tell your mum and dad and every one

But you can keep you maths and GCE's
I have found a test that makes me think better
It's a London social degree
It's a London social degree
It's a London social degree

Being Happy

Some sweet child is waiting
For a time to think and love
I don't need no country
I don't want to walk in step left right
Would it seem so funny
If I said I didn't want to fight

Being Happy
I'm being Happy
I'm being Happy
Oh ah

It's no use me talking
You must be a better man than I
While your playing soldiers
I'm looking up at the sky . . but I'm

Being Happy
I'm being Happy
I'm being Happy
Oh ah

Some sweet child is waiting
For a time to think and love

And when she's not there

Every week's just the same
Makes me speak out her name
I need her now
Like the sun in the sky
Make's me cry wanna cry
I'll need her till I die

Daytime Girl

Every hour
Watch her pass
Picking flowers
Dropping love that falls on the grass
Don't turn now
She is love
Kiss the ground
She has come from way up above

Kiss her now
And you'll stop all your crying
Kiss her now
And you'll feel what I'm feeling right now

You know
She's the day time
Night time
Rag time girl
Yes she's the day time
Night time
Rag time girl

Don't turn round
She is love
Kiss the ground
She has come from way up above

Kiss her now
And you'll stop all your crying
Kiss her now
And you'll feel what I'm feeling right now

You know
She's the day time
Night time
Rag time girl
Yes she's the day time
Night time

Umbrella Song

When there's rain in the evening
I like walking around the streets that shine
Hoping that I will see her
Hoping that her umbrella will catch mine

Then I could walk with her
And I could talk to her
We'd love forever umbrella brella time

Even if it was morning
And there wasn't a single cloud up high
I would take my umbrella
Just in case she would stop me wondering why

Then I could walk with her
And I could talk to her
We'd love forever umbrella brella time

Brella times
Umbrella times
Brella times etc

Come Again

I kissed your face and then I said goodbye
I never realised that you would cry

Love is worth all the sad things it brings you
Never mind the pain
I said that love would, cut and come again

Please let me have another chance with you
Please take me back I love you yes I do

Love is worth all the sad things it brings you
Never mind the pain
I said that love would, cut and come again

Mmm

Happiness Song

If your day is turning grey
And you feel you could cry
If there's nothing else to say
And their words seem like lies

Take a walk where it's nice and breezy
Take it easy come on
And sing a happiness song
To sing a happiness song
Will help you carry on hold on

If you feel a little down
And your head isn't clear
Try and turn yourself around
Brush away all your tears

Take a walk where it's nice and breezy
Take it easy come on
And sing a happiness song
To sing a happiness song
Will help you carry on come on

la la la . . etc

Girl From New York

She came from New York in the summer
We went to the zoo
She said that London was lovely
We had a good view

I called her at four in the morning
She came to the phone
We met in a park as the dawn came
I picked her a rose

Some how we found the time
To love each others mind
Peanut butter's fine

She came from New York in the summer
We went to the zoo
She said that London was lovely
We had a good view

And now she's gone away
I'm waiting for the day
When she will be mine

I called her at four in the morning
She came to the phone
We met in a park as the dawn came
I picked her a rose

It Brings Me Down

I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down
There's no one looking at me
Because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down

Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down

There's no one looking at me
because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down

Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
Who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

Gypsy

And everybody loves a gypsy,
When they are young and dreams pass swiftly,
And everybody's free to roll home,
Hitch up a horse or take the road on.

Out in the fields to find a place
And raise a family,
Up in the hills where the north wind blows,
That's where I'll be.
And everybody loves a gypsy,
When they are young and dreams pass swiftly,
And everybody's free to roll home,
Hitch up a horse or take the road on.

Out in the fields to find a place
And raise a family,
Up in the hills where the north wind blows,
That's where I'll be.

Well here we go
We'll get this show on the road
I don't want to stand still
The straight'n narrow
Is the way
It's not the easiest way

And everybody loves a gypsy,
When they are young and dreams pass swiftly,
And everybody's free to roll home,
Hitch up a horse or take the road on.

Traveller's Joy

Sailing on the back of a dream,
I'm gonna fly on a picture I've seen,
Feeling that I cannot avoid,
Ain't nothin' else like,
A traveller's joy.
Got my paddle,
Fishing tackle too,
Single saddle,
I'll ride in my canoe,
I can make it,
Go there and back again,
Like a travelling man.

Got my paddle,
And fishing tackle too,
Single saddle,

Stay Awhile

Stay awhile
Rest your head upon the sofa,
Closer to mine.
Drink some wine,
Let me fill your glass a little,
Higher this time.
I have always wanted you to know,
Now that I'm feeling confident you wanna go home.

Stay awhile,
Even if its just to see the,
Sun breaks the sky,
Dream awhile,
Rest your head upon the sofa,
Closer to mine.

Night time seems to make every road the same,
Sunshine and you can go the way you came.

Night time seem to make every road the same,
Sunshine and you can go the way you came.

Sometimes

Sometimes I look you in the eye,
Sometimes I don't,
Sometimes I think I know you well,
Sometimes I do and I don't,
Sometimes I do and it shows.
You ask me do I like your hat,
With those deep blue eyes,
Well I'll have have to come back to you on that,
Sometimes it makes you look fine,
Sometimes I hate telling lies.

Well I get confused,
By your give and take
Well thanks a lot,
But these debts and dues,
Keep on spinning round my head because,

Sometimes I look you in the eye,
Sometimes I don't,
Sometimes I think I know you well,
Sometimes I do and I don't,
Sometimes I do and it shows.

Kew

I feel like a boat on a river,
Could you pick me up at Kew,
I'm finding it so hard so be like me,
So I might as well be like you.
And there's only one lock between us
We'll wait for the sluice gate to rise
But if we hit any more railway sleepers
I'm gonna jump over the side.

Oh the river
Should be walking the plank
Like a friend of mine.
Oh the river
Have I really been drinking from 9 til 5

Now I ain't as cold as I should be
Walking back over the bridge
It could be the brandy inside of me
My body is lying again

Oh the river
Have I really been drinking from 9 til 5
Oh the river
Should be walking the plank
Like a friend of mine.

And there's only one lock between us
We'll wait for the sluice gate to rise
But if we hit any more railway sleepers
I'm gonna jump over the side.

That's alright

Oh the river
Should be walking the plank
like a friend of mine.
Oh the river
Have I really been drinking from 9 til 5

Hopeless, Helpless

Hopeless eyes
Helpless smile
Don't you worry
Lift you head up high,
It's the new life you feel.
Under hill
Over stone
Nothing's real yet still you want to roam
It's the new life you feel

You'll see the laughter gleaming
Brightly in his eyes
Just like white horses running free,
Running wild.

He has been,
Now he has gone
Still you want to sing the same old song
It's the new life you feel.

Hopeless eyes
Helpless smile
Don't you worry,
Lift you head up high,
It's the new life you feel.

You'll see the laughter gleaming,
Brightly in his eyes
Just like white horses running free,
Running wild.

White Lightning

Please Mummy please
Don't take me to the dentist
I've got a toothache but that's O.K.
Give me some time
And tonight in my bedroom
I'll work it loose like I always do.

Mummy please don't take me

One little boy
In a dentist chair
Heard a hundred angels flying passed him
What a gas, sitting there.

The same little boy
With a few more years
Took a sniff of this
A taste of that . .What a drag
Nothing there

And then one day he saw you walk.
And heard you didn't talk.
Saw the writing on the wall.
It didn't matter any more

White lightning
It's got nothing on you.
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Oh It didn't shine like you Lord.

White lightning .
Way out in the blue.
With a million angels singing.
Oh it didn't sound like you Lord.

Count up to ten
When I tell you to breath in
I will take out
Everything while your sleeping

Colours will fuse
In with heavenly music
When you awake
It will have a new meaning

This Song Is Green

Of this Man I must
Sing a song
Or turn to dust
Cause I know eventually
He will sing to me

Whispering through the leaves
Whispering songs of silent bliss
Such a love I can't resist
And it is both you and me
And the stars above
Whispering through the leaves
Whispering songs of love

But this song is green
Cause the words I've never seen
And it's just another light
Breaking out the day bringing on the night
What it is I cannot say
And the tune I cannot play
But I know there is a key
Lift your eyes and see
It's reality
And this song is green

Forgive And Forget

If I ever step onto the moon
And I'm the same
Nothing has changed
Well then there'll have to be you

If I ever wake up from this dream
And it's the same
I'm back again
Well then there'll have to be you

Close encounters with celestial showers
And brushing away the light years
I didn't expect any bed made of flowers
But I didn�t think I would find you here

Till I learn to forgive and forget
I'll stay the same
Nothing will change
But then there'll have to be you.

This Boy's In Love Again

Seen you before but I don't know where or when,
Was it at school or the cafe on the corner there,
Talking to myself in the pouring rain,
This boy says that he's in love again,
This boy says that he's in love again.

Back on the street feeling cold but I don't mind,
Saw you today and you nearly set my heart on fire,
Everywhere I look I see your face,
This boy says that he's in love again,
This boy says that he's in love again.

Like the sun breaking on the water,
Like a fire burning in your heart,
If it comes shining through the night,
Don't let it from your sight,
Just in case it slips and fade away.

Heaven Come Quickly

Spring again, and I'm losing my way
Every year I do the same
Summer ends and I try make amends
Watch the teardrops on your face

Like a leaf falling helplessly
Burnt by the sunlight
Blown by the blue sky
In the winter you cover me
Every time.

So why am I lonely, why am I blue
Why don't I love you like I should
Heaven come quickly
Unlock your door
You're making me feel like I've lived before.

Forever's No Time At All

And nothing sure is forever
When forever's no time at all
As I lie amongst the heatherbed
High above the ocean's roar

I seem to hear my name being called
Yet who am I waiting for
And I love the lover who loves with
All the love he has and more

And now that the summer's ending
And your baby cries out to sea
I do feel that I am drowning in
The love that you're sending m

And now that the summer's ending
And your baby cries out to sea
I do feel that I am drowning in
The love that you're sending me

Lyrics by Kate McInnerney

I Can't Stop Loving You (Though I Try)

So you're leaving in the morning
On the early train
I could say everything's alright
I could pretend and say goodbye
Got your ticket, got your suitcase
Got your leaving smile
I could say that's the way it goes
I could pretend and you won't know
That I was lying.....
Cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try.....

Took a taxi to the station
Not a word was said
I saw you walk across the road
Maybe the last time - I don't know
Feeling humble, I heard a rumble
On the railway track
And when I hear the whistle blow
I walk away and you don't know
That I was lying

Cause I can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try

I just can't stop loving you
I can't stop loving you
No, I can't stop loving you
Though I try

Without Love

You see those street lights in the city
Well they don't sparkle on there own
You see that girl she looks so pretty
But she might as well be made of stone

Without love Without love
There'd be no one called Juliet
She wouldn't have no Romeo

You can take the gold out of a river
You can take the blue out of the sky
Then wrap it round some bodies finger
But that won't make the sunshine bright

Without love Without love
There'd be no one to hold you
When this world turns dark and grey

Without love Without love
This earth would kiss the moon
And then the stars would fade away

And when the rain falls down
The river will find its way back into the sea
And what makes this world turn around
Without true love this could never be

You can take the meaning out of Christmas
You can take the Fourth out of July
You can call the Devil as a witness
But in the end he'll tell you that I'm right

It can make the winter feel like summer
And put the strength back in the land
It can make you think there is no other
But don't forget there is no man.
Without love.

A Movie Made In Heaven

Too many arrows too many stars
Too many angels singing she's gonna break your heart
Just like a movie made in heaven
I walked her home and then I kissed her good night
She said don't worry in the end it will be alright
Just like a movie made in heaven.

Then before I knew we were on the deadwood stage
She wasn't wearing no skirt
She was smiling like Doris Day
I remember somebody calling out my name
That was the last thing I heard
Except the sound of a whip crack away.

She started singing about her secret love
And I imagined it was me she was thinking of
Just like a movie made in heaven
She stole my heart but I was holding the ace
They shot me down but then I got up and walked away
Just like a movie made in heaven.

Oh I never thought anyone could be so vain
It wasn't making no sense
She was talking like Gabby Hayes
When I sat beside her upon the deadwood stage
I got a pain in my head
Then heard the sound of a whip crack away.

Free The Children

We are the young west
The privileged few
We are suspicious
Of everything you do
Our brothers and sisters
Have been taken away
Like a dam in the river
Now its gonna change

Free the children
Free the children
Let the children go
Free the children
Free the children
Let the children grow

We are the young west
Look in our eyes
We have no secrets
Got nothing to hide
Our brothers and sisters
Have been taken away
Like a dam in the river
Now it's gonna change

Free the children
Free the children
Let the children go
Free the children
Free the children
Let the children grow

Well I don't care if they shave their hair
Or paint their faces crimson
Black or white that's alright
We've got to free the children.

Dying Star

We said goodbye
With the understanding it was meant to be
That we're seperated by our destiny
And a silent pain that can't be shared

We said goodbye
And I promised we would never meet again
But my love's so strong the flame will never end
When the morning comes it will be there

Just like a dying star
My love will shine a path wherever you are
True love means everything
But if there's a chance
That it might break someone's heart

I'll get out of your life
Out of your world
I'll stand behind someone else's flame
You'll be safe in your dreams
Safe in the dark
You won't see me
But I won't be far away

Dancing Shoes

When you're walking the streets at night
And you're feeling lonely in a crowd
Don't look back at the frozen past
Cos it really isn't that important now
When that old juke box ain't playing the songs that you want to hear
When the bass drum sounds the same
And the tom toms disappear

Give them everything that you possess
Give them everything that you love best
Never throw away your dancing shoes
Never tell a lie if there's no need
Never try to hide the way you feel
Never throw away your dancing shoes

When you've given it all away
And there's nothing left for you to dream
When the shadows of yesterday
Keep reminding you of how it used to be
Grab a hold on tight and pull yourself out it's never too late
Get up on your feet the music will always find a way

Give a little more and take your time
Listen to your heart and my advice
Never throw away your dancing shoes
Never try to hide the way you feel
Never dream if you can make it real
Never throw away your dancing shoes

When you can't find a friend anywhere
And you think even god doesn't care
Well just take a step and he will take ten and you'll go round again
Grab a hold of somebody's hand
Cos if love doesn't win then what can
Make a fool of yourself
Get on your feet and dance

Got It In One

God knows it isn't easy or as simple as it seems
There's a Spaniard in the workhouse who is having troubled dreams
There's a girl who lost her baby somewhere she canÕt bring to mind
There's a man who thinks his handshake is some secret service sign
You've got it in one
You've got it in one

There's a singer who's forgotten both the reason and the rhyme
There's a woman filled with pity though she's happy all the time
There are sailors on the ocean who believe it's all a dream
And there's a book recording everything you've ever been
You've got it in one
You've got it in one

When you're losing everything that you have
Well just remember that it's part of a bigger plan
If there's a question
Well then the answer must be love
You've got it in one

There's a boy who can't remember which is right and what is wrong
There's a uniform division but it won't be there for long
There is someone who keeps smiling cos he doesn't know he's ill
There's an emptiness inside us all we shall one day fill
You've got it in one
You've got it in one

When you're losing everything that you have
Just remember that it's part of a bigger plan
If there's a question
Well then the answer must be love

You've got it in one
You've got it in one

Under One Banner

Now is the time to lay down your cloaks and your daggers,
Don't you see that we're under one banner.
Now is the time to play out the part that was written,
Who will care if it's hero or villain.

The stage is empty, the lights are dimmed,
And the silence is deafening,
Don't forsake me,
Cos there ain't a wall dividing us,
There ain't a sea thats wide enough.

I believe that we're under the same banner,
I believe it's later than we think it is,
The time has come and change is in the wind.

And if you're given the easy lines,
And I was struggling to get it right,
Don't forsake me,
Cos it might have gone the other way,
And you may have found it hard to say ....

I believe that we're under the same banner
I believe the stage is set, the lights have dimmed
You're standing right in front of him.

I believe that we're we're under the same banner ......

Penumbra Moon

Standing in the moonlight
I saw you standing in the moonlight
With your hair a shining blue
I shivered in the midnight air.

He was in the shadows
He was hiding in the shadows
Why he looked so dark and cold
And lonely, only heaven knows.

Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you
Feeling so shy
Hiding behind somebody too.
Oh I'm just like you

If I could have one wish
Oh I'd take you on a starship
But I wouldn't know what to do with
All the love I have for you.

Nothing much between us
No there's nothing much between us
Even Mercury and Venus
Couldn't take me far from you

Oh! Penumbra! Just like that moon
Some of it black, some of it bright, some of it blue
Oh! Penumbra! I'm just like you
Feeling so shy
Hiding behind somebody too.
Oh I'm just like you

That Other Guy

He's got a race horse
And he's got a four poster
Country retreat
Like the white cliffs of Dover
But oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl

He shoots at weekends
With lady La-de-da
On oodles of champagne
And Russian caviar
But oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl

Will he make her feel
Safer in limousines
Or will he hold her
When she is afraid

I hear the birds sing
So sweetly when I wake up
I've got a good friend that
Won't ever leave me
But oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl
I said oh my!
What's that other guy doing with my girl

White City Lights

My friends are all waiting with time on their hands,
It's Saturday night
The bridges are broken there's no turning back
To white city lights
Here on this stage it gets harder to relate
What did I do to change me this way
Oh! Yes I remember I can just see your face
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

A hero, A villain, is what you'll become
Or take the road in between
As free as a bird or a man on the run
Well it could have been me
When other lights shine and then leave me in the dark
You're always there
You have been from the start
But we're still separated and it's breaking my heart
I'm in love with you!
I'm in love with you!

Give Me Love

She come, she gone
No explanation
Left me tired and cold
Don't bear no grudge
You win you lose some
All that shines is not gold

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

Don't want no ties
No self denying
Can alter my destiny
Like fading sun
I'm disillusioned
Only one thing I need

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

One more heartache
Guaranteed
That's the way
It has to be
See

Brown And Beige

You were lovely in brown and beige
And with the sunset
You looked so perfect

Evening sparkle upon your face
The day was almost
In purple shadow

And the twilight fell like rain
And I had to look again

Slender ladies in English lace
Their lips like rosebuds
Their kiss for no one

But you were lovely in brown and beige
I should have told you
But felt no need to

And the twilight fell like rain
And I had to look again

Warrior

Paint me like a Zulu
Throw me to the lions
There ain't nothing left
To frighten me besides
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

Kick me in the deep end
Send me to the stars
You won't see no difference
Maybe It's because
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I don't need a bow
Silver or gold, chariot of fire
The story, we know
Getting retold, twisted and tired.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

You know I'm convicted
Put me to the test
Just show me the wicket
Time will do the rest
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I think it's a shame
Hearing your name
Spoken in anger.
They're racking their brains
Trying to explain questions and answers.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a worrier for you.

Reverie

When I'm alone
Or in a crowded room
Lost in a reverie
Why do I always think of you

Throughout the day
Or in the midnight blue
When I can't get to sleep
Why do I always think of you

It's a mystery to me
Why I'm lost in a dream
When the sun fades away
And shadows fall

Is it twilight or rain
At the end of the day
Well there must be
A reason for it all

Velvet Rut

What d'you want
Come on now why don't you tell me

What d'you want
I know you don't need my money

We've been through the
Flooded rivers and the road
And there ain't nothing that can
Stop me from loving you it's true
Come on let me know

oh oh oh oh oh oh

What d'you want
If it's my love well you got it

Come on and tell me what d'you want
There's nothing left in my pocket

I don't feel a breath of wind in the air
We're in the doldrums
You can break my heart I don't really care
You see I'd rather it were me than someone else

oh oh oh oh oh oh

You can see that I'm stuck in a velvet rut
You've got me sounding like a
Record that jumps and jumps
Come on tell me what d'ya want

oh oh oh oh oh oh

Still Entwined

A long long time ago we parted
So many things we should have said
My broken heart has never mended
I'm still entwined with you dear
The tie that bound is still there.

Should I have spoken what I knew then
Or let my feelings be repressed
And even though we parted good friends
The silence that you left me
I feel it¹s almost deafening.

And if by chance I get to see you
After the years have drifted by
Will it be laughter when I greet you
Or will the tears fill our eyes
And will we tell the same lies?

There And Back Again

I've tried to live alone
Without anyone
Trying to tell me what they're going through
But then I get the blues
Cos I cant spend my life without you

I've been travelling
There and back again
I've looked for places
I've never been to
But if I had to choose
I would not go anywhere without you

Sometimes the rain gets me down
Sometimes I dream about
Flying out to another location
Way out in the blue
But only if you came too

Only A Passing Show

The king of hearts came to the fair
And went through the tunnel of love
He said this ride will never end
Even when the ghost train comes
He told me
This will always be a passing show

So who will play the emperor
The fool upon the stage
The hanged man and the lovers
The wheel of fortune says to me
This will only be a passing show

Only a passing show
Only a passing show

The joker told a pack of lies
The actor played himself
The minstrels sang the same old rhyme
The magician cast his spell upon me
This will always be a passing show

I climbed aboard the ghost train
It took me to the edge
The king of hearts had disappeared
But I remember what the old man said to me
This will always be a passing show

Only a passing show
Only a passing show

Guardian Angel

The curtains coming down
It's time to leave the stage
The actors and the clowns
Have no more parts to play

I've got to learn how to forgive
And make a brand new start
Maybe I'll find that love can pierce
This vacuum round my heart

Reach out you guardian angel please
If you're looking after me
Come and wake me from this dream

I know I've taken so much time
But there¹s this feeling deep inside
And it's so hard to say good-bye

Memory Lane

Taking a spin
Where I used to live
The kids are outside
The Palais de Dance
The girls are made up
The boys in a trance
A red neon sign flashing
Buy Me Now

Making my way down memory lane
Even the stars look the same
Making my way down memory lane
Only the time seems to change

Driving my car
Hear the dogs bark
The beggars are all coming to town
Some are in rags
Some are in tags now
Some are all dressed up in silken gown

Making my way down down memory lane
Even the stars look the same
Making my way down memory lane
Only the time seems to change

So glad you made it
Back home again
Down through the ages
Here comes the rain

Its all been done before
Open the same old door
Forever is no time at all

Keep On Dancing

In an empty room
You keep on dancing
The music ended long ago
And the clowns have all departed
You keep on dancing
And with your eyes closed to the world
Just a young girl spinning round

You keep on dancing
You wear your make up
And your fur
Just like Audrey Hepburn

And there will be another time to laugh
And another time to dance
But you you've got it made
You've got it made

Ladies In Vogue

Tears that say yes, smiles that say no
You're so desperately wanting the best
But don't ever think you're doing it wrong
Never feel that way
I love you just the way you are

Let the new day, come and then go
Nothing's for certain
But my love won't change
So don't ever think you doing it wrong
Never feel that way
I love you just the way you are

Ladies in Vogue
Looking so satisfied
Trailing their coats
Flashing their eyes.

I must agree with Shakespeare who wrote
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds
So don't ever think you doing it wrong
Never feel that way
I love you just the way you are.

No Secrets At Ginos

The smile was right the kiss was good
But its almost over
Your eyes don't sparkle like they should
And your walk is slower
The conversation was all down to me
You said you wanted something to eat
We went to Ginos
Nice, but we know the game is over
Throughout the night Vivaldi tried
While the lights got lower
The wine began to take its effect
I turned my head to look at the Thames
No river came into sight
The reflection of your eyes
Made it fade into the night
No secret left in your gaze
But I had to look away
I couldn't stand to see your face in pain

Catherine

Catherine,
I wouldn't lie with you, I wouldn't lie to him.

Catherine,
If we can pick and choose, when will it ever end.

I know that breaking a heart is wrong,
And so I'd better be moving on.

Some other time, some other place, some other bend in the road.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I ain't, maybe I shouldn't say no.

Catherine,
We don't have much to gain, but such a lot to give.

Catherine,
You only have to take a bit of loneliness

Why don't you stay with the one you know,
Instead of leaving with one you don't.

Some other time, some other place, some other bend in the road.
Maybe I'm right, maybe I ain't, maybe I shouldn¹t say no.

Brake On My Heart

It seemed that we had met before
Another lifetime
But who can be sure
I don't know what it was that got me first attracted
But now that its happened
I'll put a brake on my heart

Paint me a picture
Tell me your tale
Nothing will change the way that I feel
Without your love I might as well be locked in prison
But if there's no remission
I'll put a brake on my heart

Predestination
The throw of a dice
One invitation
Then two souls collide
A twist of fate can cause a head on heart collision
But now I've been smitten
I'll put a brake on my heart

Running Away

Knock knock the door don't lock
Whenever your around
Ring ring the bell don't stop
Inviting everybody round

I try to shut my eyes
But every time I do
I see a photograph
Of everyone in the room

Well they can stay right there
And they can use my bed

Because I feel like running away
You know I feel like running away
Because I feel like running
I feel like running away

Strike a light I'll be polite
And say the proper thing
Pull up a chair forget I'm here
And take the weight off your feet

Come through I bet you do
Without touching the sides
Cold cuts and cashew nuts
Will take good care of you tonight

If that's the life you want
Then it's the life you've got

Because I feel like running away
You know I feel like running away
Because I feel like running
I feel like running away

Because I can't get enough of your love
You know I can't get enough of your love
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough of your love
You know I've tried everything I know
But I can't get enough
But I can't get enough of your love

Love Finds You

Love can be wonderful
Love can be kind
Love can guide you but
Love can make you blind
When your down and out with nothing left to loose
Love finds you

Love is the sweetest thing
Love can go sour
Love can give you wings
Love can make you drown
When a friendship breaks
Then finds itself renewed
Love finds you

Why is it so contagious
Why is it vivacious
Something that you can't buy
Only a fool would try

There ain't a remedy
We're all at risk
Memory fades but you
Must remember this
If you're searching all alone without a clue
Love finds you

Old Jealousy

This feeling in my throat ain't lying
Old jealousy is back again
Forget the past well I've been trying
But every night brings a new pain.

Your so called friends with all their lipstick
And their freaky old men
Well they don't bother me
But I believed you when you said
YouÕd told me everything and
That I find so hard to forgive

Ah ah

This feeling in my throat ain't lying
Old jealousy is back again
Forget the past well I've been trying
But every night brings a new pain.

I know these words are sounding bitter
But they're better out than
Poisoning my love
Don't want to hurt you
And I really should forgive you
But it takes a long long time
To give up.

You won't see no difference
Maybe It's because
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I don't need a bow
Silver or gold, chariot of fire
The story, we know
Getting retold, twisted and tired.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

You know I'm convicted
Put me to the test
Just show me the wicket
Time will do the rest
I'm a warrior for you
I'm a warrior for you.

I think it's a shame
Hearing your name
Spoken in anger.
They're racking their brains
Trying to explain questions and answers.

I'm a warrior for you
I'm a worrier for you.

Velvet Rut

What d'you want
Come on now why don't you tell me

What d'you want
I know you don't need my money

We've been through the
Flooded rivers and the road
And there ain't nothing that can
Stop me from loving you it's true
Come on let me know

oh oh oh oh oh oh

What d'you want
If it's my love well you got it

Come on and tell me what d'you want
There's nothing left in my pocket

I don't feel a breath of wind in the air
We're in the doldrums
You can break my heart I don't really care
You see I'd rather it were me than someone else

oh oh oh oh oh oh

You can see that I'm stuck in a velvet rut
You've got me sounding like a
Record that jumps and jumps
Come on tell me what d'ya want

oh oh oh oh oh oh

Brown And Beige

You were lovely in brown and beige
And with the sunset
You looked so perfect

Evening sparkle upon your face
The day was almost
In purple shadow

And the twilight fell like rain
And I had to look again

Slender ladies in English lace
Their lips like rosebuds
Their kiss for no one

But you were lovely in brown and beige
I should have told you
But felt no need to

And the twilight fell like rain
And I had to look again

Give Me Love

She come, she gone
No explanation
Left me tired and cold
Don't bear no grudge
You win you lose some
All that shines is not gold

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

Don't want no ties
No self denying
Can alter my destiny
Like fading sun
I'm disillusioned
Only one thing I need

O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love
O Give me love

One more heartache
Guaranteed
That's the way
It has to be
See

Alone Again

Alone again
And the blue sky has disappeared
All alone again
But it feels like you will always be here
I picture your face
Smiling at me
Wondering why you came and then went away

Alone again
With the clouds overtaking me
Darkness in the rain
But I'm gonna try
And sail on through it

And maybe you will follow
And hold me through the night
Sunrise drifting to a place
Where the ocean meets the sky

Alone on a stormy sea
Then you came along and found me there
One moment of tranquillity
If I could only make it last forever

Would You Believe

Ba bababa ba ba ba bababa ba ba bababa bababa
baba baba ba baba ba baba ba baba ba
I wouldn't change my mind now
I wouldn't waste my time now
I should erase my mind of you

Would you believe
I loved you yesterday
I had the words to say
My speech was all planned out

Would you believe
I had so much to say
I loved you every way
My mind was all made up

I wouldn't change my mind now
I wouldn't waste my time now
I should erase my mind of you

Would you believe
I loved you more each day
I loved you more that way
But now it just can't last

Would you believe
I had so much to say
I loved you every way
But now it's just the past

But now it's just the past

Happiness Song

If your day is turning grey
And you feel you could cry
If there's nothing else to say
And their words seem like lies

Take a walk where it's nice and breezy
Take it easy come on
And sing a happiness song
To sing a happiness song
Will help you carry on hold on

If you feel a little down
And your head isn't clear
Try and turn yourself around
Brush away all your tears

Take a walk where it's nice and breezy
Take it easy come on
And sing a happiness song
To sing a happiness song
Will help you carry on come on

la la la . . etc

Cut And Come Again

I kissed your face and then I said goodbye
I never realised that you would cry

Love is worth all the sad things it brings you
Never mind the pain
I said that love would, cut and come again

Please let me have another chance with you
Please take me back I love you yes i do

Love is worth all the sad things it brings you
Never mind the pain
I said that love would, cut and come again

Mmm

Always On My Mind

See her standing there
Can't compare
Always on my mind

Couldn't leave her now
Don't know how
Always on my mind

Every week's just the same
Makes me speak out her name
I need her now
Like the sun in the sky
Make's me cry wanna cry
I'll need her till i die

Like the food i eat
When I sleep
She's always on my mind

And when she's not there
This I swear
She's always on my mind

Every week's just the same
Makes me speak out her name
I need her now
Like the sun in the sky
Make's me cry wanna cry
I'll need her till I die

Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind etc

I'm To Blame

Can you count the times we've talked of love
As getting closer to each other things don't count
My faults stem from the way I call your name
Sometimes it just doesn't sound the same

Only I'm to blame

I hope you can find some room in your heart
I'll try to erase the part
Where I was not in tune with you

Lyrics by Caleb Quaye

Feeling Easy

Feeling easy hard days work behind
Feeling easy flowers on my mind
As I walk out of town
Country air turns my head upside down
Take my shoes off at last
See the sky feel the free growing grass

Feeling easy come and hold my hand
Feeling easy try and understand
As I walk out of town
Country air turns my head upside down

Take my shoes off at last
See the sky feel the free growing grass

Back About 4

Dear mister baker bake me a flan
and bake it quick as quick as you can
I've left a note hanging on my door
Be back about 'bout a back at 4

And if you find that there's something you need
A coloured scarf or a string of beads
I've left a note hanging on my door
Be back about 'bout a back at 4

And if you find you've got something to say
Just write a note like I've done this way
It doesn't matter the way it rhymes
I'll understand all the feeling inside

Umbrella Song

When there's rain in the evening
I like walking around the streets that shine
Hoping that I will see her
Hoping that her umbrella will catch mine

Then I could walk with her
And I could talk to her
We'd love forever umbrella brella time

Even if it was morning
And there wasn't a single cloud up high
I would take my umbrella
Just in case she would stop me wondering why

Then I could walk with her
And I could talk to her
We'd love forever umbrella brella time

Brella times
Umbrella times
Brella times etc

It Brings Me Down

I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down
There's no one looking at me
Because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down

Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down

There's no one looking at me
because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down

Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
Who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

Life Is Short

Life is short and you won't even talk to me
Girl I know it
Life is short and you won't spare a thought for me
Girl I know it now

Time is slipping by my love
Please don't say goodbye my love
Finding you took long enough for me

Ba ba ba X 10

Life is short and there's no time to hang about
Girl I know it
Life is short and there's no time to leave it out
Girl I know it know

Ba ba ba X 10

Life is short and you won't even talk to me
Girl I know it
Life is short and you won't spare a thought for me
Girl I know it now

Good Day Goodnight

Down in the woods on a very hot night
I looked at her and she said well alright
Could it be some one is coming our way
Some body somewhere had something to say say

The word goodnight

Up in the mountains on a boat we did ride
And for a moment we drift with the tide
Happen by night could it happen by day
Some body somewhere had something to say say

The word good day

La la la la la la la la la la x 2

Down in the woods on a very hot night
I looked at her and she said well alright
Could it be some one is coming our way
Some body somewhere had something to say say

The word Good night

La la la la la la la la la la x 2

The Fortune Teller

She came to see you on a thundery night
The fortune teller someone showed me the light
I'll never find all the love I have won
Your having fun

Kili where shall I go
Kili where shall I go
I'll make worth your while with pure white gold
Kili where shall I go

I'll make the journey and I'll carry my load
Oh fortune teller will you show me the road
I'll never find all the love I have won
but you're having fun

Kili where shall I go
Kili where shall I go
I'll make worth your while with pure white gold
Kili where shall I go
Kili where shall I go
Kili where shall I go

Now She's Mine

She took her time
Waiting for me
To call or drop a line
Now she's mine

She could have let
Me go on in a mess
But she said yes
Now she's mine

I found somebody new
Now what can I do
I want to be friendly with you
I want to be friendly with you

She took her time
Waiting for me
To call or drop a line
Now she's mine

She could have let
Me go on in a mess
But she said yes
Now she's mine

I found somebody new
Now what can I do
I want to be friendly with you
I want to be friendly with you
I want to be friendly with you
I want to be friendly with you

Being Happy

Some sweet child is waiting
For a time to think and love
I don't need no country
I don't want to walk in step left right
Would it seem so funny
If I said I didn't want to fight

Being Happy
I'm being Happy
I'm being Happy
Oh ah

It's no use me talking
You must be a better man than I
While your playing soldiers
I'm looking up at the sky . . but I'm

Being Happy
I'm being Happy
I'm being Happy
Oh ah

Some sweet child is waiting
For a time to think and love

Love Is All Around

Love is all around me
Love is all I can be
Let the wind carry our love you and me
For all that want to see
The way life should have been
People such as us should live
So happily

There's a place by the sea
Will you come there with me
Only the sky is as high as the sea
Will you come with me
Will you come with me
The way that you and I could live
Oh come with me

Walking Through The Park

Walking through the park one Sunday after noon
Saw Bobby Blackbird peck the moon
Davy Duck was walking down beside the pool
He said that he was feeling cool

A ka ka ka ka ka ka ka ka ka ka ka ka

Robin in the park was moving there in time
Rubbing his red breast makes it shine
Davy Duck was walking down beside the pool
He said that he was feeling cool

Portobello Road

People raising hands to bid
Taking off the top and seeing what's been hid
Wrapping paper on the ground
Screaming children showing off the things they've found
Portobello Road
Portobello Road
Portobello Road
Portobello Road

You can buy most anything
Paper clips or even eastern wedding rings
Tell you something that I found
Twenty Turkish cigarettes that fetched a pound

Portobello Road
Portobello Road
Portobello Road

The Rest Of My Life

I shall give my love to you
And you will know whatever I do
I shall give my self the need
And then I'll leave my body to you

I feel so real
I won't get any older
I can't get any colder
Took my time looking for her
The rest of my life is for you

Will you give your love to me
So I can know whatever I do
Will you give yourself the need
If so I'll leave my body to you

I feel so real
I won't get any older
I can't get any colder
Took my time looking for her
The rest of my life is for you

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

It Brings Me Down

I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down
There's no one looking at me
Because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down

Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

I wander through the night time
There's no one I can call mine
It brings me down
It brings me down

There's no one looking at me
because there's nothing to see
It brings me down
It brings me down

Because I think far too much
And there's no one as such
Who believes in the dreams I have to dream

It brings me down

I Won't Be The One

Well. There's something I've noticed
When you talk about him
I see a tear in your eye

But I won't be the one to say goodbye

I'll tell the people we know
That it was only a whim
I'll tell lie upon lie.

But I won't be the one to say goodbye

You've got tell me what your feeling
You've got to stop this double dealing
You know you'll never be that satisfied
But don't tell me that you're not really sure
And the decision is mine.

Cause I won't be the one to say goodbye

I know you didn't want to hurt me
I know it must be like a bad dream
I know you haven't had an easy ride
But don't tell me that the magic has gone
And it don't feel quite right

Cause I won't be the one to say goodbye.

Movie Made In Heaven

Put Love In Your Heart

When will it happen
When will you give yourself to me
Let's set it in motion
'cos I think that your for me
But each time we talk away the night I get so high
But you just walk away and leave me wondering why

When ever you get to think of leaving
Just put love in your heart
when ever you get that empty feeling
Just put love in your heart

Well give me a reason
A reason for living a guarantee
'cos night time is calling
I feel myself falling down to my knees
'cos each time we walk away the night I get so high
But you just talk and say goodbye and I'm wondering why

When ever your get to think of leaving
Just put love in your heart
When ever you get that empty feeling
Just put love in your heart.

Free The Children

We are the young west
The privileged few
We are suspicious
Of everything you do
Our brothers and sisters
Have been taken away
Like a dam in the river
Now its gonna change

Free the children
Free the children
Let the children go
Free the children
Free the children
Let the children grow

We are the young west
Look in our eyes
We have no secrets
Got nothing to hide
Our brothers and sisters
Have been taken away
Like a dam in the river
Now it's gonna change

Free the children
Free the children
Let the children go
Free the children
Free the children
Let the children grow

Well I don't care if they shave their hair
Or paint their faces crimson
Black or white that's alright
We've got to free the children.

Got It In One

When you're losing everything that you have
Well just remember that it's part of a bigger plan
If there's a question
Well then the answer must be love
You've got it in one

When you're losing everything that you have
Just remember that it's part of a bigger plan
If there's a question
Well then the answer must be love

You've got it in one
You've got it in one

Dying Star

We said goodbye
With the understanding it was meant to be
That we're seperated by our destiny
And a silent pain that can't be shared

We said goodbye
And I promised we would never meet again
But my love's so strong the flame will never end
When the morning comes it will be there

Just like a dying star
My love will shine a path wherever you are
True love means everything
But if there's a chance
That it might break someone's heart

I'll get out of your life
Out of your world
I'll stand behind someone else's flame
You'll be safe in your dreams
Safe in the dark
You won't see me
But I won't be far away

So Positive

When ever I'm near you
I feel my heart begin to race
And there really is no substitute
Whenever I'm near you
I see the stars begin to fade
But in the darkness I can feel you
I get a high from your energy
You give me all that I want

You're so positive
I get a shock
You're never negative
I hold my breath but I know it won't stop you

Whenever I leave you
I find it hard to turn away
And I really have to fight it
Whenever I touch you
I feel my legs begin to shake
But I've really got to like it
I get a high from your energy
You give me all that I want

You're so positive
I get a shock
You're never negative
I hold my breath but I know it won't stop you

So positive
Just what I want
You're never negative
You're everything I need in a little black box
